This man landed a mentorship with Apple’s CEO Tim Cook just by hitting the gym at 4:45 am.
That too while he was working 80 hours a week.
I spoke to him about 9 things he learned along the way; a thread

1) Closed mouths never get fed
If you do not ask for what you're seeking, you will never get it.
Want a high-profile person to mentor you? Email and reach out to them.

2) You can create luck.
Yes, the lucky people are not so by chance.
They actively do things like being in the right place with the right people to increase their chances of getting lucky.

3) Always create value for others while on your success journey
Often, a person who has been lucky enough to follow their desired career path does not care about generating value for others behind them.

4) But real satisfaction is when you are in a position of authority and are creating value for other people to help them reach their potential.
5) There will be people who will help you when they have no reason too
Those are the ones who deserve to be credited for the success you enjoy in the advanced stages of your career.
Do them a favor and never let them down.

6) When you seek people out just for their knowledge, you stand out.
Almost everyone around is always bombarded by pitches or asked for favors to do something.
In such a scenario, you seek people just to talk to and learn from them, and your genuine interest will bear results.

7) Always have a defined set of principles you swear by
When you are surrounded by utter chaos, those principles are what will provide you with much-needed clarity.
And when you can do that you narrow your field of vision so much that you know what will your next steps be.

8) Always follow the path where your genuine interest lies
When you follow your energy, things have a way of working out.
Tim Cook left his cushy and lavish job at IBM which led him to become the COO of COMPAQ and ultimately the CEO of Apple

9) A perfect leader is highly self-aware
Tim Cook is the perfect logistics guy, but not so much when it comes to design.
But he isn’t afraid to outsource things he isn’t great at and let others shine and this is the reason why Steve Jobs bet on him as his successor.

10) Elon Musk’s biggest strength is that he believes in his dreams
Sure, he sometimes makes some big promises, but setting those unimaginable goals is what led him to achieve those humongous things and bring out the revolutions that he did.
