What is separating you from everyone else in your industry, your genre, your sector? Find that, harness that, and utilize it to obtain your success.

There are a million photographers.
There are thousands of social media strategists.
There are a million and one musicians.

What is going to set you apart? What will make you stand out in your oversaturated job market? Everyone has the it factor. You just have to find it. One of my favorite things to do, in my free time, is help loved ones hone in on their it factor. It’s like discovering a new brightly colored wardrobe in a closet they didn’t know they had.

If you had an internship at a really cool place, you’re not automatically a big shot. Just because you have a set of skills, it does not make you marketable. Just because you have experience, does not make you better than everyone else. No, you need the “it” factor.

It doesn’t matter what industry you find yourself in — if you don’t have the IT factor, you’ll get swallowed up whole.”

Check out my new book, ’30 Things Before 30'! This book explores thirty different lessons and notions that I’ve learned before blowing out the candles on my 30th birthday cake. They’re fun, raw, yet important nuggets on lessons of love and career, sex and status, health and wellness, family and f*ck boys, and most importantly- the pursuit of genuine self-love and finding true happiness.
