What No 40-Year-Old Can Tell You About Modern Entrepreneurship
3. You just need to put yourself out there.</b></h2>
Becoming recognized in any particular industry is not going to happen while you keep waiting for the world to discover you. You'll have to make the world see you. In my experience, the people you look up to will start contacting you on their own. But, only if you first raise yourself to their level and beyond.</p>
Cutting through the clutter in today's noisy world is one of the greatest challenges you'll have to embrace. The good part is that making a name for yourself is easier now than it was 20 years ago. Many entrepreneurs, myself included, choose a website as the primary promotional channel. Alternatively, you can build up a strong social media presence or advance your career as a keynote speaker or book author. The key to building your online presence is focus — don't strive to be active on all platforms.</p>
As you're able to secure your first gig, make it your core priority to excel at the job. Remember that promoting yourself should go hand in hand with doing great work and proving that you can deliver on promises.</p>
