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
Because being wrong didn’t matter. Daddy had their back.
Jesus. It’s almost exactly as I imagined it.
