[00:02] go back and talk to my younger self when I was 20 and give her some advice on how to achieve success much faster, I would tell her the following: First, don't try to be good at something you hate. When I
[00:14] was young, I thought I should be good at everything, from accounting to sales calls and even customer support. But experience taught me the opposite. If you hate a specific thing, a specific job, a specific task—like me, for example, at the very beginning, I worked as a cold caller, meaning I would
[00:30] call people in America and Canada selling them services without prior appointments or acquaintance. I was drawn to the job at first and actually made good sales, but after just a few weeks, I literally hated it. The mistake was that I continued in it for so long. If I had focused, I would have realized that I was good at
[00:46] long. If I had focused, I would have realized that I was good at sales, but I didn't like cold calling. I should have worked as a close salesperson and focused on that, honing my skills instead of wasting all my energy on something else.  I don't like it, so instead of wasting your energy on what you hate, focus on the skill you love and
[01:00] hone it to a professional level. When you reach the appropriate level, you can hire someone to do the rest for you. For example, I do this all the time. For instance, I have software developers
[01:12] building my new software, and I focused on product strategy and design because this is something I love to do, and I do it very well, thank God. Click on the related video icon here in the video to see the video with the camera. Yeah.
