Becoming a professional is a lot like having kids: You’re never quite ready. No matter how hard you studied or how many part-time jobs you held, you’re going to feel lost.
Rest assured, though, that everyone felt that way once. The difference is that some have had years of experience, learning their strengths and building relationships. They’ve established some self-confidence. There are no shortcuts to that stage, unfortunately. But there are tools that can make the early stages of your career easier and more productive. They’re called books, and frankly, I wish I’d read more of them before launching my career.
Like many young people, I thought I knew everything needed to navigate the professional world. Life quickly showed me otherwise. I struggled for the creative ideas others seemed to gush, said stupid things, and made more than a few relationship-related mistakes.
Had I read these books, I could’ve learned those lessons the easy way.
