PSA: WHY DO YOU MATTER?
Growing up in New York City, you find out very quickly this is a place of major opportunity. Different cultures are deeply rooted here from graffiti, fashion to hip-hop. Given the internet today, becoming a contributor to any of these cultures have become more common than ever. Whether you're commuting in the city or walking down a busy street block, guarantee somebody is on their grind ready to hand out their next business card to any person higher up who can elevate their career to awesomeness. So the question I want to ask is with everyone trying to advance themselves, "Why do you matter?" Don't take that question personal because let's be honest, there's nothing special about you. Your ideas aren't original, your presentation isn't innovative, your team is lazy, your brand needs branding and the list goes on. Are you ready to quit yet? No? Good! Because people will crush your dreams without a care in the world if you excel or not. There aren't any special favors or handouts. There isn't any sympathy. Truthfully, you have to show people why you matter. Show them why you're important to the culture you desire to contribute to. If you believe you are where you are suppose to be and you are doing what you're suppose to be doing, then this is it. No plan b. No alternative path. Work smart and get what you desire. Show people why you are important to the conversation, why your opinion is valid and your ideas are necessary. Show them why you matter.
