You put hours of effort and study into learning a certain subject inside and out. You probably can’t remember when you last put the knowledge you learned in university to work in your everyday business affairs. You’ve probably forgotten half of what you learned, too. I didn’t pay attention to what I’d learned.

It’s not a bad idea to keep an eye on what the success stories are up to today, but if you’re really looking to learn something useful (and reduce your stress levels), then you need to go back in time. It might just be that the person you think is making it is just very good at playing the social media game, but not at making any money.

So my name is Taylor, and if I had chosen to pursue a salaried job instead of a freelance career, I could have avoided the embarrassing situation many women find themselves in today – discounted because of their name, before their education and skills are even checked. It made me angry. It still does. Thanks for being real, James!
