here's everything i've learned in 2 years 🧵👇
here's everything i've learned in 2 years 🧵👇
1. you’ll never make everyone happy 🤷🏽♀️
being a people pleaser will kill you.
learn to defy the norm and seek happiness in innovation, irrespective of whom you let down.
no matter how hard you try, someone will be upset. kill that urge to please all your community members.

2. embrace uncertainty and adapt quickly ⚡️
you need to stay informed and unafraid to pivot when necessary.
markets are volatile, tech is always evolving and regulations are ever-changing.

3. develop thick skin 💪
to make it in web3, resilience is key.
you need to learn how to communicate with all sorts of people and have strategic conversations.
your ability to handle FUD matters.

4. become obsessed with learning 📘
nerds are GMI. stay hungry and curious about everything. innovation is always just around the corner and you should learn to consume without it affecting your ability to operate.
hot tip: make friends who love learning & do it together 🤝

5. stay true to who you are & make frens 🫂
relationships are at the very heart of web3, and you need to build these with authenticity. be genuine and provide as much value as you can to others.
never compromise your integrity for short term gains. karma has its ways :)

6. friends & family > web3 stuff 🙂
this space is all-consuming and easy to lose yourself in
dont lose sleep or miss important milestones for the sake of a mint.
take breaks often and avoid compromising on things or people that make you happy 🌅

7. be patient and play the long game 🏆
web3 is still in its early stages, and the possibilities are endless.
embrace a long-term vision and focus on building something meaningful and sustainable.
keep your eye on the prize and work towards it consistently.
