I became Senior VP at a multi-million dollar company at age 26. My salary was $600k. This was in 2018.
How did I do it?
It wasn’t hustle culture. No 5:30am wakeups, cold showers, or productivity hacks.
What got me there was a relentless focus on impact. Every project I touched, every deck I built, every presentation I gave MOVED THE NEEDLE.
Always, I asked myself: what is the single most valuable contribution I can make to the company right now? And I did that. If people disagreed, I convinced them otherwise.
I kept this up for three years before the CEO (my dad) finally recognized my results and promoted me to SVP.
Here’s the original
Jesus. It’s almost exactly as I imagined it.
Because being wrong didn’t matter. Daddy had their back.
