Tips
23:00 Tip #1. Get over yourself!
25:35 Tip #2. It’s ok to not know everything (and admit it)
26:45 Tip #3. Learn on your own. There are 24 hrs in a day, and you’ve gotta do things for yourself sometimes.
29:41 Tip #4. Don’t be afraid to ask questions!
31:40 Tip #5. LEARN how to take criticism. It’s hard. We know. It’s sooooooo very very very very difficult. But do it. Just. Do. It.
34:32 Tip #6. Start doing things NOW. Don’t wait until you have a diploma in hand. Just start. (as Jon Acuff says.)
35:22 Tip #7. Remember why you’re there. If you don’t know, you’re not going to take it seriously.
36:50 Tip #8. Do the work!
38:17 Tip #9. Have a P R O C E S S.
