9 Things I Would Do If I Graduated From College Today

If you were graduating college today, what is the first thing you would plan to do in order to set yourself up for success? Below I put together a list of the 9 things I would do immediately if I was about to step into the professional world.

#1. Google myself.

Then write down what I wanted to be different in the search 10 years from now.

#2. Create a Peer Group.

Create a group with 5 to 10 of my classmates and zoom weekly to share career journeys.

#3. Get Educated.

Spend a percentage of time consistently studying personal finance, long-term, disability insurance, taxes, passive income, etc.

#4. Work On My Communication.

Get good at public speaking, talking, and connecting with others.

#5. Improve My Writing Skills.

Try to get close to or as good at writing as Grammarly (great app by the way)!

#6. Write Down Ideas.

Get in the habit of journaling ideas daily. Either by written of verbal dictation.

#7. Work On My Habits.

Change my bedtime to 10pm and create a morning routine.

#8. Make Reading A Goal.

Come-up with a list of books that I wanted to read and read one book a month.

#9. Find The Leaders.

Try to connect with them regularly (I'd be prepared to bring some value and not just take)..

What's #10? I would love to hear your opinion. Share your thoughts in the comments below!
