In 2014 I graduated with a 2.9 GPA and landed a $40,000 a year banking job. I had big dreams of: • Making a lot of money • Being a successful finance guy • Achieving financial freedom before 70 But after what felt like 100 failed interviews, I started to have major doubts. Maybe I'm not smart. Maybe I can't make a lot of money. Maybe I'll be stuck at a desk forever. 𝗠𝗮𝘆𝗯𝗲 𝗜 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗮𝗶𝗺 𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿... I was a naive 22 year old who thought the world owed me a $100k salary. For what? Getting a bachelor's degree? If I allowed that mindset to become my default way of thinking... I would have never: • Pivoted my career • Landed my dream job • Started writing online • Become an entrepreneur The best decision I made in my career was to turn "𝙄 𝙘𝙖𝙣'𝙩" → "𝙃𝙤𝙬 𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙄?" Your mindset is powerful. Continuously working on yourself is the only path to massive growth in your career. To become a person who makes 2X what you currently make in a year... You have to believe you can first. 𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙨 𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨, 𝙇𝙞𝙣𝙠𝙚𝙙𝙄𝙣? -- Hey, I'm Anthony. Follow me for more and get my most actionable content in my free newsletter: 👉 antcarlton.substack.com
