Looking to get ahead with celebrity advice?
Being a Millennial means that you must be aware of what is going on with what is happening with celebrities. Even if you don’t like it, Millennials use pop references all the time and it is just a part of modern times. So, we decided to take something from our knowledge about celebrities and apply them to my professional life.
And just to make myself clear: This doesn’t mean that I find these celebrities role models, it just means that we can learn something from them whether you are starting a new job or well into your career.
Here are 15 pieces of wisdom from your favorite celebrities and that I am sure no one will ever tell you:
1. Beyonce – Know your strengths
Have you ever heard of anyone with more self-confident than Beyonce? She knows her strengths and shows them to the world and so can you! If you haven’t already, make a list of your qualities and say them out loud.
2. Madonna – Be yourself
You are not Madonna and Madonna, isn’t you. Only you can be you. Madonna is such an icon because she never tried to be someone she is not. You are unique. Embrace that uniqueness, improve and work on yourself to become the best version of yourself.
3. Oprah – Overcome your problems
I know! Oprah, right? There are hundreds of lessons we can learn here. But did you know that before she became rich and famous she had to overcome things like poverty, sexual abuse, and teenage pregnancy? So stop complaining about your problems and start working to solve them!
4. The Kardashians – Brand yourself
Maybe not the better role models but they sure are examples of branding. If you had to advertise yourself, how you would do it?
5. James Oliver – Focus
He started his career to show people how to eat better. And he still does that today. If now that he is famous, his focus is still the same. What is your focus?
6. Steve Jobs – Be innovative
Jobs was known for thinking outside the box and creating things we did not even know we needed it. He never settled down for was already out there and neither should you if you want to earn more money.
