“Fun translates into good performance.”
The four things every marketer should know before starting their career:

Find a skill (channel) that is the most fun to do. Then specialize. Specialization brings money. Specialization solves hard problems that matter. You take this even further by also specializing in a specific industry (e.g. I specialize in marketing for fintech and insurance orgs at the moment).
Understand the business you’re marketing. Do your best to think like the CEO.
Find an excuse to meet other experts. Personal branding is the easiest way to grow your network of mentors.
Create a swipe file. This is not a new or novel suggestion, just one that works. There’s a reason other marketing experts do this!
