The First Thing I Would Do Starting Out as a Teen | What I Know Now 70

One of the big questions I keep asking myself is 'what advice would YOU give to someone looking to get started moving on their career?'

It's a question I ask plenty of other people with mixed responses. But from my own experience, if I was starting, the first thing I would do is prove myself. 

Being so young, there are many things I have to overcome, and because of that, establishing a stable, consistent part of my life would be the very first thing I would do: nothing huge, just one small step of creating a routine that I can follow day to day. I've found that having one part in your life that doesn't move is extremely comforting, and you can make great advances in other areas that you normally wouldn't stride toward due to how alien it is. 

Learning to be consistent has been the single most important lesson I've learned to move ahead faster. Showing others that you can be consistent in your word and actions has been how I've been able to get into amazing opportunities. 

Key takeaways:

1) Prove yourself 

2) Consistency is the single biggest lesson to learn

3) You show yourself to be someone reliable
