Career: 1) You can increase your salary dramatically by changing your job 2) Job interviews are like exams, study for them, find and practice example questions 3) In tech, contracting is where you make bank. If you work it out, with the same breaks you take with salaried employment you're still much better off. Startups: 1) The goal is to make money, not build something. Focus on that. 2) It typically takes a long time (many months or years) to create a business. Be patient, stick with it. Think of it as a marathon, and an experiment. Courses, e-books: 1) There's much more involved in their creation as what you initially think. It'll take much longer to build than you imagine (if you're about doing a proper job) 2) They won't sell themselves, you need marketing channels. 3) the trick with courses / books is to build audiences and funnel the audience into them. You can do this by creating free books / courses and upselling collected emails, or by collecting emails from other places / affiliating and collaborating. So don't count on a single book / course from making you so much money you can quit work. Build a series of books / courses instead - you'll see the results of compounding.
