1. Dont party with anyone you work with/for! 
2. Keep your head on st8 and don’t jump the gun. Never burn a bridge but keep your wits. Instead of accusing them, simply question the issue (in a confident firm but nice way) then if not satisfied with the answer. Move onto another program and put them in a folder for later. Sometimes a program is just bad because the people running the affiliate program or manager of that program at the time.
3. Find out how you can give yourself the fuel for the daily grind and prevent “burnout” (then send it to me)
4. Go to conferences but avoid the temptation to party and “get to know” anyone to deeply. Be more intellectual than emotional. They ARE there to sell you something after all. Yeah, some are sincere but for the most part they are there because they have a job to do. So by all means take and enjoy the perks and NEVER offer them anything (even if your that person like me that much return by buying a drink for anyone that buys one for me). They however, get a budget to use on just that, so ENJOY! 
5. (Left open for you to share) <- Listen more than talk (hard one for me) and let people share. One thing I have noticed. More people are willing to share what they know out of excitement and lack of experience, than those willing to share from pure experience and success.. Something that's so very sad but true. I lost many good things by opening up my stupid mouth thinking the people on the other side were "good people".
