WILL YOU GIVE US FIVE YEARS OF YOUR BEST?

1st year as a HubSpotter

“One year of working here, and you will be 100% better at whatever you are here to do.”

-Andrew Quinn, April 2011

Crush your numbers in your FIRST YEAR.

Understand your brain. As you work.

READ your HubSpot Lore. Publish to it.

TRY STUFF. Volunteer to help out

with a HubSpot initiative.

3 hours a week max. Nights + weekends. Keep your leadership in the

loop.

GET OUT THERE. Go to everything you can. ToastSpot Charity Auction Hackathons Team “off-campus” events: 5k

runs, awards ceremonies, etc Mystery dinner. Hub Wiki = Homepage

#GETFOUNDYou have a personal brand to build here whether you know it or not

2nd year as a HubSpotter

You’ll never be promoted until you’re overqualified for the position you are in.INNOVATE ON YOUR ROLE.

Work your way out of a job.How can you make your position obsolete?

• Touch HubSpot tools every day

• No excuses.

• HubSpot = why we here

• It makes us relatable again

• You don’t have time NOT to.

YOUR HUBSPOT + YOUR BRAND = 1

You can tell a person’s likelihood of success by the books they read and the people they associate with in their spare time.

Never. Eat. Alone.

NICK’S SUGGESTIONS TO START WITH (these people will inspire you)

LEGENDARY (but still accessible)

3rd year as a HubSpotter

Feeling a little burnt out yet?

Avoid comparing your worst day to somebody else’s best.Never complain to the world about your problems. 70% of the people don’t care, the other 30% are happy you got ‘em.

Give. And Take.

“Where do I want to be in next three years? I dunno I’m just trying to keep my eyes open and be ready for what’s next.”

-Mark Metcoff, yesterday.

Take time to reflect weekly.Document what you can.

You’ll be stunned what we accomplish here each day.

4th year as a HubSpotter

Take people with you.

Call Bullshit.

The culture code is REAL.

“If you’re not having fun, you’re doing it wrong.”

-A HubSpot intern on a wiki post.

#STAYWEIRDBring your unique style to work every day

5th year as a HubSpotter

Some people live 5 years, and some people live 1 year 5 times. Which one are you?

Take a radical sabbatical. Things are only going to go faster…..

“Every team is trying to save HubSpot.”

-Nelson Joyce

What’s the dream AFTER the dream?Stay creative.

WHY LEAVE?I’m not leaving. I’m investing deeper. Same mission. Different position.

“Don’t you DARE leave without writing a note on what you learned and what mattered most. Better yet, delivering it in a final talk…You owe it to us and to yourself.”

-Nick Sal, Oct. 2015

We are so lucky to have eachother….

It’s not always easy, but it’s worth it.
