[Embrace the web]

Wake up to what people are saying about you.

[Control your image]

[Gain credibility]

There are lots of “fake” experts on the web.

It’s ok to be one of them.

Stick with it. Hustle. Learn a lot.

Then leave them, but teach them what you’ve learned.

“The next nobody is somebody. The next somebody is an expert. …smarter than you.” – Steffan Antonas
