Start a blog with your own content, even if you are employed elsewhere. It doesn’t have to be huge at first, just a simple wordpress.com blog works. Share your thoughts on what you are passionate here, even if you’re blogging for your employer too.

This one is a little close to my heart especially when talking with college students or soon to be marketing graduates. Encouraging them to start now helps them later on.

My own mistake? Sharing an entirely too emotional time (brief period of approx. a week) and experience on Twitter. I’m not afraid to be real and public but it was more open than I should have been while feeling that upset and angry. Always remember that Google sees all. While the experience is a) still real and b) a part of my life, some things are better left in your heart and mind.
