There aren’t many places more ideal for an ambitious individual seeking an opportunity than Washington, DC. Here you can find an audience for just about any hustle and the most diverse networking pool anywhere! People migrate to this area for school, job opportunities, a change of scenery, whatever and stay for the fastpaced lifestyle and the accelerated ladder climb. Regardless of your career field or entrepreneurship goals, it’s never hard to find your people, those working towards a common goal. Nowadays, apps such as Meetup make getting connected even easier. You’d be surprised who you have things in common with and who can give you the necessary push to achieve more. It’s important to connect to those people in alignment with your purpose and your goals. Get out of your comfort zone. Meet new like-minded people, preferably those who are smarter than you. Learn what you can. Absorb all the good that DC has to offer and use it to get where you need to be. After all, that’s why you’re here, right? Being well connected has its benefits, but one must also be clear about who they are and the mark that they want to make. Otherwise, it’s easy to get lost in all the hustle and bustle of the city.

Knowing who you are and who you would like to grow to be is key. It gives you direction that helps you find your way even when surrounded by the many distractions that you will undoubtedly be face. You must approach every new experience or adventure with confidence knowing that you have purpose living on the inside of you. Walk into every room like you own it. You need no introduction when you’re on the scene. You have something to offer and you want to walk away with some stuff too! Enjoy every moment of it and live in your purpose!
