00:00You know, if I had one piece of advice, it's to outwork everybody, work incredibly hard
00:06and diligently, and be super proactive.
00:09So anticipate what your boss' needs are, anticipate what your co-workers' needs are.
00:14If you're dealing with customers, anticipate what their needs are, and always take the
00:18first step in being proactive.
00:20It's not something that you're taught necessarily at school, or even the word sort of proactivity
00:25is not one that's commonly used.
00:27But proactivity, we've found, is sort of one of the big keys to our success.
00:33One great piece of advice we got early on was to take any big problems and big questions
00:38and break them down into smaller problems and smaller questions.
00:41So if you ever feel like you're standing on the edge of a cliff and the only way down
00:46is to jump and hope that the parachute deploys, you probably want to see if there's a path
00:51where you can take a step down and then another step down, and you can learn along the way.
