Season Kick-Off, Three Things You Should Know To Get Better

We jump into a new season and a new topic.  This season will bounce around a bit as we tackle three things to know about a subject in each episode.  Our focus will be more technical than entrepreneurial as we look at how to get better.  However, we will cover a broad range of topics as we walk through this season. Get Better Actions Each episode will provide a list of three ways to get better related to the given topic.  This approach may feel like a clickbait season.  Nevertheless, each of these items is intended as a way to take action.  The goal is to provide quick and straightforward steps you can take to improve today or this week.  The typical suggestions that require a lot of time and effort to implement will be skipped. Review Your Site This episode includes some things you can do to be a little better.  The first suggestion for getting back on track is to update your personal/business site.  This step is not just a review of the content.  Review your technology stack and update it where applicable.  We all know that technology is continuously advancing.  Take advantage of this progress with your tech stack so you can provide the fastest, smallest, most user-friendly experience possible.  This goal may take several hours or days to complete.  At least work on building a plan to get these updates completed.  Update Your Resume Most people wait until they are looking for a new job to update their resume.  It is far easier to update it periodically.  This process can lead to a resume that has a more helpful format and one that is thorough.  Your journey to get better at a subject will be easier to validate.  It is particularly hard to remember what you did a few (or several) years ago when you are trying to provide specific content.  Those little projects you work on can easily be lost in the shuffle of big road maps.  However, those small tasks can also provide an essential experience that helps your resume pop.
