LM: #281: Head down, step up
You’re not your degree. You’re not your title.
As a creator, you are what you make.
Since what makes others interested is having done something interesting, the work is the network. So the best way to network is with your head down.

Put your head down and make something others will respect. Write a book, or write a blog. Build a company, or a short campaign. Make something tangible others can look at and see that you care about something and have stepped up to do something about it.
When you’re done, people can point to that thing and say:
- “She’s the one who wrote that book.”
- “He’s the one who organized that conference.”
- “He ran that meetup group.”
- “She made that meme.”
Big or small, when you make something, you make yourself.
Aphorism: “For some men, the stronger their desire, the more difficult it is for them to act.” —Gustav Flaubert
Book: The Dictators (Amazon) is a side-by-side comparison of Hitler’s Germany and Stalin’s Russia.
