This week we are gonna talk about:
Knowing what is your personal value proposition and finding your differentiating factor
And Mentorship

Think of it this way, like a brand has got a proposition that differentiates it from others and gives it an advantage over other brands, so does an individual's unique value allow him to portray himself with a distinctive mindset and character that is unlike any other. This is very important not only to identify but also to portray through your actions and on your resume.

Having mentors, even better, a board of advisors/mentors who can teach you skills that are not taught in school, keep you accountable, and help you build upon your ambitions.
