Hi guys:
First post here!
I'm sure I'm running the risk of being alienated off the get-go by starting this thread (if that ends up being the case you'll have to forgive me for creating a new account & commenting 'what a great thread this could have been' 3 months from now
I'm 24, started contracting 2 months ago, and am totally in lust with it!
I had some great advice due to a random encounter with a JP Morgan associate in a Domino's ("...join an umbrella corp.").
Now, as much as I'd love to keep leaving it to fate to putting me in the same room as great advice (is Warren Buffett in town?), I'm going to take the path most travelled and ask the veterans amongst you (who are comfortable sharing) for, 'advice that you would have given yourself in retrospect'.
For those of you who have never heard the Baz Luhrman adaptation: ‪Baz Luhrmann - Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen)‬‏ - YouTube (it's pretty inspirational) or, for the readers amongst you, the original article: Advice, like youth, probably just wasted on the young - chicagotribune.com - this is what I'm aiming to achieve.
I appreciate humor, so feel free to be smart asses ('...and the third path to wisdom: experience - which is the bitterest' et al), but the posts with blatant value are what I'm looking for.
So, in closing - what would you tell yourself when you first started contracting?
Thanks folks! Oh, and if this thread already exists - feel free to close it
