SAM’S TAKE HOME TIPS Tip 1 — Do things crazy things that scare you Whether it’s doing crazy projects to get yourself noticed or taking leaps out of your comfort zone, always keep things a little insane. It will help lead to a more varied life that you can look back on with rich memories of contrasting moments. Basically, you’re life will be a series of events that stand-out rather than a blur of monotony. You’ll have more stories to tell the grandkids and it will force you to keep learning and improving in ways you can’t even imagine. Tip 2 — Do something you’re passionate about If you want people to recognise what you’re doing or help you will be much more successful if you can demonstrate clear passion for what you’re doing and show the fact you will go the extra mile you’re much more likely to open more doors for yourself and Tip 3 — The power of a network A great lesson for tech entrepreneurs out there. sitting indoors building your project and perfecting things is great but you’ll never be a success unless you go outside and talk to people. Growing a network you can leverage its just as an important skill as being able to code if you want to be a successful entrepreneur. <a href="https://imgur.com/9FdCz94"><img src="https://i.imgur.com/9FdCz94.jpg" title="source: imgur.com" /></a> Tommy teaching me how to use a computer Contact Us You can find out more about us and chat about anything you like Tommy: tomiwaadey.com (https://tomiwaadey.com/) Twitter (https://twitter.com/tomiwaAdey) LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/tomiwaadey/) Sam: Instagram (https://www.ins
