Old School Ideology:

Sure, we’ll love ya however you come.  We’re interested in making progress and bars getting raised though.  If “it’s” taking away from that, be prepared to set it to the side/ and or put it on the shelf.  Focus!  Life is no joke.  We’re here to help you prepare yourself for a life full of tripwires, dead ends, and guns pointed at your temples, anticipating a flinch.

Here are five old-school, determined, and aggressive ways to get ahead in life, that we like:

1. **Networking Relentlessly**: Build a robust network by attending events, joining organizations, and making connections with influential people. Approach conversations with confidence, and don’t hesitate to ask for introductions or favors. The more people you know, the more opportunities you can create for yourself.

2. **Pursue Continuous Education**: Dedicate yourself to lifelong learning through formal education, certifications, or self-study. Aggressively seek out knowledge in your field and stay ahead of industry trends. This can set you apart from your peers and position you as an expert.

3. **Work Long Hours and Sacrifice**: Embrace a strong work ethic by putting in long hours and being willing to make sacrifices in your personal life. Show your commitment and determination to succeed by going above and beyond in your job or entrepreneurial ventures.

4. **Cultivate a Strong Personal Brand**: Be aggressive in promoting yourself and your achievements. Use social media and personal branding techniques to showcase your skills, accomplishments, and unique value proposition. A strong personal brand can open doors and create opportunities.

5. **Seek Out Mentorship and Guidance**: Identify and approach successful individuals who can mentor you. Be proactive in asking for their time and advice, and demonstrate your eagerness to learn and grow. A mentor can provide valuable insights, connections, and support as you navigate your career.

These strategies require a proactive mindset and a willingness to step outside your comfort zone, but they can significantly increase your chances of success.
