Now pay close attention to what I'm going to say next, because I'm about to mess you up with the truth.

In terms of rapidly advancing your career path and finding work that you actually care about, there is one option that stands above the rest. That option is...

FREE WORK.

You might be thinking: "I've done free work, it's called an internship guy."

Well... not quite.

An internship is typically something you compete for with other applicants, much like a job.

And whatʼs more important to note is that you apply for an internship the same way you apply for a job.

You send in a resume, do an in-person interview, and if you secure the internship, youʼre given menial work from 9-5. Enjoy grabbing coffee and filling out spreadsheets for the next three months, sucka. And by the way, there are no guarantees for a full-time position after the internship ends. Sorry!

Free work is a different approach altogether.

It allows you to work in whatever industry you want, and work on any projects youʼre interested in. On top of that, there are no dead ends. If you follow the steps I lay out at the end of this guide, you will be greeted with more opportunities than you would have ever had if youʼd taken the traditional career approach.

The goal here isn't to make money. It's to build a solid network, portfolio and reputation.
