There are many roads to the same place. I see so many gurus, trying to convince people that they know the way. And while they may know a way, it is not the ONLY way and it may not be the way for you.
It is imperative before you start working with anybody that you understand who you are, what you're willing to do. What you're not willing to do and have a general sense of what you want your career to look like. This will prevent you from going down a path that doesn't align with your goals or who you are.
Because choosing the wrong path many times will set you back months, if not years. In the comments, let me know what your dream career looks like. And I'll suggest a couple of ways for you to get there.
