1. Think Long Term

    Adjust your mindset to think about everything you do as an investment in the long-term. How you spend your time, the things you seek to learn, your health, and your independence. Be cognizant of how you treat others and what you say. Be punctual, give off positive energy. The small things add up and they multiply.

    One of the most important things in your long-term development is who you surround yourself with. You are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with. Ask yourself- who are those 5 people? How similar are your goals to their’s? Do they respect you and appreciate you? Ideally it’s your team- cofounders, mentors, mentees, your significant other, your family.

    I recently spent time with Ben Wolff & Vivek Patel brainstorming where we’d like Tech@NYU to be 20 years from now. It’s incredibly productive to frame things like this and work backwards.

    Startups are highly focused on short-term, that doesn’t mean you should be.
