Learning to "Leave Your Mark!"

As someone who is breaking into the PR industry, I am constantly looking for resources to help guide me through the process. I heard about Aliza Licht’s book Leave Your Mark and was immediately drawn to it. To call it a book, is a bit of an understatement. As stated on the back of the front cover, “Leave Your Mark isn’t an advice book – it’s a mentorship in 288 pages.”
This book changed my perspective on where I was in my life and gave me the motivation to go out and “Leave my mark…”
Here are the best tips and most inspirational quotes from the book:
 

1.  “It’s never too late to start over...if you’re lucky enough and you’re honest with yourself, you might realize that you need to make a change early on.” 
2. “’To Whom It May Concern” never concerns anyone.” 
3. “A great attitude is one of your most marketable skills, and if you can muster the energy and passion to have a good attitude about any task, large or small, then you will get very far.” 
4.  “Forget the long-term career goal. Nail what is in front of you and your next step will become crystal clear.” -
5.  “At a great party, something always breaks. Life isn’t just about the success stories; It has to be able the failures, too.” 

 
P.S. Reading through these quotes is not enough! Pick up this book A.S.A.P. It’s a must read for anyone diving into the industry.
