90% of jobs can be taught. Give people a chance.

The hiring world is full of contradictions.
We demand 3+ years of experience in tools that have only existed for 18 months.

We label entry-level jobs with requirements that look like mid-level careers.
We filter out people who could actually become the best hires-because they don’t “tick every box.”

Here’s the truth:

- Most skills can be learned on the job
- Most tools can be mastered in weeks
- Most experience is only gained once someone gives you a shot

What you can’t teach is character.
You can’t teach resilience.
You can’t teach curiosity.
You can’t teach integrity or grit.

Those are the things you should be hiring for.

Every “top performer” today started as someone who had no clue what they were doing. Someone once gave them a chance. That opportunity is what allowed them to become who they are now.

When companies gatekeep potential by clinging to outdated hiring criteria, they don’t just miss out on talent-they miss out on loyalty, fresh ideas, and long-term leaders.

If someone has the right values and the hunger to learn, invest in them. Train them. Mentor them. Watch how fast they rise.

Because the best teams aren’t built by finding unicorns. They’re built by betting on people’s potential.

Question is: are you hiring for perfection-or for possibility?

One thing I’ve learned after building multiple teams: the most valuable people are rarely the loudest.

They’re the ones who quietly upskill when no one’s watching.

You can’t teach that level of internal drive.
You can’t force someone to care about their growth more than the company requires.

That has to come from within.

And from a neuroscience perspective, people who self-educate build something incredibly powerful:
a plastic brain.

Every new skill, every book, every online course, it all strengthens their neural pathways for adaptability, problem - solving, and creative thinking.

Those traits compound.

They become faster learners.
Better decision-makers.
More resourceful under pressure.
And over time, they outgrow people who rely only on formal training.

When I hire, I look for curiosity.
Not credentials.
Not polished answers.
Curiosity.

Because someone who reads, experiments, builds, tinkers, or studies on their own time will eventually outpace almost everyone else.
They don’t wait to be told what to learn.
They choose it.

And that choice is what makes them dangerous, in the best way possible.

If you’re that person, keep going.
Even if no one notices right now.
Your effort is compounding quietly.
You’ll feel the gap before anyone else sees it.

20 Pieces of Advice I Wish I Knew at 20
For career. And for life.

If I could go back, I wouldn’t tell myself to “work harder” or “dream bigger.”
I’d tell myself the truth no one around me was saying.

That *discipline beats talent*.
That *mental health is strategy*.
That *freedom doesn’t come from money. it comes from control of time.*

At 20, I thought success was about acceleration.
Now I know it’s about direction.

I’ve learned that no one really knows what they’re doing. we’re all figuring it out in real time.
And that the people who seem furthest ahead are usually just the ones who started earlier and stuck with it longer.

Here’s what I wish I’d known sooner:

- No one’s coming to save you
- Most people mistake busyness for progress
- Your environment shapes your ambition
- Hard work matters less than clarity
- Being respected will take you further than being liked
- Your health is your leverage
- Money amplifies who you already are. not who you wish to be
- Systems beat motivation
- Learning to sell changes everything
- Your 20s are not a waiting room, they’re the gym for your future self

If you can internalise that early, you’ll spend less time doubting and more time building.

Because the truth is - your 20s aren’t a test run.
They’re the foundation.

Lay it with intention.

To better mistakes,
Dan

20 Pieces of Advice I Wish I Knew at 20

The danger isn’t what happened—

It’s what we assumed about it:

Here’s how the ladder 
of inference traps us:

1️⃣ Fact → Someone misses a meeting.
2️⃣ Detail → They didn’t answer my email.
3️⃣ Meaning → They must not care.
4️⃣ Assumption → They ignored me on purpose.
5️⃣ Conclusion → They’re unreliable.
6️⃣ Belief → They’re not committed.
7️⃣ Action → I exclude them from future work.

The problem? 

At every step, the truth
drifts further from reality.

Fix it:
• Stick to facts, not opinions.
• Pause before assuming intent.
• Stay open to new information.
• Check beliefs before acting.

Use my sheet to see how to catch 
yourself before assumptions cost trust.

Check the facts before you move.

You don’t lack time—

You're wasting it on the wrong things:

And that’s not your fault.

Most people were never taught how to
manage time—only how
to react to it.

But time isn’t something to manage.

It’s something to protect.

Here are 11 simple systems that protect
your hours and take back your day:

☑️Pomodoro → 
• 25 minutes on, 5 minutes off.
• Do 4 rounds, then take a longer break.

✅3-3-3 Rule → 
• 3 hrs deep work.
• 3 quick tasks.
• 3 maintenance tasks.

☑️Eisenhower Matrix → 
• Do, decide, delegate, delete.
• Sort by urgent vs. important.

✅2-Minute Rule → 
• If it takes less than 2 minutes, do it now.

☑️ABCDE Method → 
• Rank tasks.
• A = must, E = eliminate.

✅Eat the Frog → 
• Tackle your hardest thing first.

☑️Time Blocking → 
• Assign hours for each task.

✅Kanban Board → 
• Visualize tasks.
• To do → Doing → Done.

☑️80/20 Method → 
• Focus on the 20% that 
creates 80% of the results.

✅Getting Things Done → 
• Capture tasks and organize.
• Then, reflect and repeat.

☑️MSCW Method → 
• Must, Should, Could, Won’t. 
• Prioritize fast.

The hours are already there. 

The system you choose decides whether 
they move you forward or keep you stuck.

You’re not “too emotional”—

You’re carrying two realities at once:

Most people try to control what they feel.

But emotions were never meant to be caged.

They’re not flaws to fix—

They’re data.

They’re how your body and brain
speak truth before words do.

Look closer and you’ll find your most
powerful traits aren’t pure—
they’re layered.

For example:

🟠 Joy + Sadness = Bittersweet
🟡 Anger + Compassion = Assertiveness
🟡 Hope + Doubt = Determination
🟠 Confidence + Vulnerability = Courage
🟡 Peace + Uncertainty = Resilience

This mix? That’s not a malfunction.

That’s your wisdom forming in real time.

It’s how you learn what matters—
what hurts, what heals, what’s next.

And once you can name it,
you can work with it.

Self-awareness starts where judgment ends.

Feel first. Then listen.

That’s how emotion turns into wisdom.

Self-belief isn’t something you feel—

It’s something you build:

And most people build it backwards.

They wait until they “feel ready.”

They chase confidence like it’s a finish line.

But belief doesn’t show up first.

Proof does.

Here’s what the path really looks like:

🔴 Doubt Zone
• Feels safe, but keeps you stuck
• You overthink, compare, and feel foolish
  
🟠 Resistance Zone
• Critics get loud
• You celebrate effort, but progress feels slow

🟡 Skill-Stacking Zone
• Small wins stack
• You learn one thing at a time
• Support makes belief grow

🟢 Belief Zone
• You take bold action
• Trust yourself
• Help others believe too

🔁 The Loop That Builds Belief
• Notice doubt — don’t follow it
• Act before you feel ready
• Repeat. Belief grows with proof

Every action is proof.

And proof builds belief.

You don’t need to wait to believe.

You need to move.

Metrics don’t replace leadership—

They reveal it:

Great leaders don’t guess,
they measure what matters.

Because what you track 
shows what you value—

And what you value 
shapes your results.

Here are a few simple ways 
to track better leadership:

🟥Strategy
• Measure if projects actually make an impact.
• Watch your market position and key changes.

🟨Engagement
• See how connected your team feels.
• Track why people stay or leave.

🟦Efficiency
• Find slow systems and fix them.
• Cut waste and track savings.

🟩Finance
• Track growth each month.
• Know your profit, not just revenue.

🟪Innovation
• Track new ideas and results.
• Spot untapped markets.

Should you track all of these?

No - choose what best fits your needs.

Clarity turns effort into progress.

Measure what matters, 
not what’s easy.

Because what you track 
becomes what you achieve.
