09/15/21 • 11 min

Hello friends!!

We've reached the final principle of 'How to get into sport without getting lucky':

Principle #8 - Invest so much time that it worries you if it will all be worth it. That’s how you know you’re on the right track.

When up to 600 people apply for popular entry level roles, you have no choice but to be in the top 1%.

But until you’re hired, you never really know if you’re doing the right things, or if you’re doing enough.

So... If you want confidence that your career is on track to land that dream job, tune in for a 'career barometer'.

For the 8 principles on 'How to get into sport without getting lucky', listen to episode #100
