In this summary, you will learn:

1) Why most young people aren’t ready for the business world and 2) What 25 attributes Gen Yers – and everyone at work – need to succeed.

Take-Aways:

• College does not teach Gen Yers what they need to know to develop business careers.
• Build your career as you’d erect a house: with a strong foundation, a solid frame and a polished exterior. Rely on good planning, the right tools and high-quality materials.
• Assume full ownership of your career plan and path.
• Many Gen Yers – also called Millennials – feel a strong sense of entitlement, a harmful attitude in business.
• Patience and resilience do not come easily to Gen Yers. Nevertheless, as a Gen Yer,
you must learn to be patient and resilient.
• Develop a customer service mentality; that is, treat everyone as a customer.
• Success requires flexibility, self-awareness and a sense of perspective.
• Being able to sell is a critical skill, not only in the corporate sector but everywhere.
• Try to be a “STAR,” someone who is “savvy, tenacious, adaptive and resourceful.”
• The opposite of a STAR is a “DOPE,” someone who “disses opportunity, potential and earnings.” STARs have 25 essential traits that DOPEs don’t have.
