Take the shortcuts you're offered

-You should have at least 2 email signatures. Personally, I think a professional photo of yourself next to your name looks great. Most email inboxes think it looks like spam. For cold outreach, keep your signature solely to text. For replies with contacts you’ve already engaged with or people who reach out to you, you can go for what you think looks best instead.

-You only need 10%. Find the people smarter than you. The ones who have done 100% of the work and learn from them. Take their paths and shortcuts they’ve paved. Make it easier on yourself then just do 10% more. The difference is now you’re starting from where they are. That 10% is a lot more than 10%.
