Every year, new graduates enter the workforce—each entering a different job market than the one before them. Navigating such a large change successfully can be difficult on one’s own, which is why it helps to consider the advice of those who have walked the same path before and who are achieving their goals.

Here, 12 members of Young Entrepreneur Council consider their own journeys and offer up their best advice to new grads entering the workforce and looking to launch their own successful careers.

1. Know That Passion Will Take You Far

Your degree does not define your limits, nor does it dictate your success. The biggest thing I’ve learned in business ownership is that you can be successful in any area where you have passion. With the growing interconnectivity of the world, if you have a unique idea backed by passion, it is relatively easy to find highly skilled people to build your business. Ideas are the new currency. – Alexis Austin, Right Law Group

2. Prioritize Building Your Network

New grads should prioritize building a strong professional network through industry events, alumni connections and professional associations. A strong network can offer valuable mentorship, job leads and collaboration opportunities, helping launch their careers by providing new experiences and connections. – Nic DeAngelo, Saint Investment – Real Estate Funds

3. Define What Success Means For You

Define what success means for you and the lifestyle that you seek. This can help you set personalized goals and priorities, ensuring that your career trajectory aligns with your values, passions and aspirations. By defining your version of success, you can better evaluate job offers, career moves and networking opportunities, leading to a more fulfilling and purpose-driven professional life. – Alfredo Atanacio, Uassist.ME

4. Learn How To Solve Problems

Learn how to provide value in any situation by offering solutions instead of discussing problems. Anyone can learn this skill by practicing mental models such as the Eisenhower Matrix and Occam’s razor. For example, you can list problems you see in a work setting, break down what’s urgent and then solve accordingly and quickly. Be the first to identify and solve. – Libby Rothschild, Dietitian Boss

5. Always Wake Up Feeling Excited And Grateful

I would tell new grads: I was in your shoes 16 years ago as I graduated pharmacy school and started my residency. I would love to remind you all to wake up every day feeling excited and grateful for what you have. As you are launching your career, make decisions based on where you want to be instead of making decisions based on where you currently are. What do you want your life to look like in 2028? – Dr. Christine Manukyan, STORRIE Institute™

6. Stay Eager To Learn

College gave you a baseline for learning; the workforce will give you actual practice. One of the perks for companies hiring recent graduates is that you’re malleable. They can offer you training opportunities, try to steer you clear of forming “bad habits” and set you up for career growth as long as you put in the work. Keep a good attitude and stay open—your leadership notices. – Greg Ashton, GROW

7. Reflect On Your Perfect Job And Go Find It

Take a moment alone to sit with a pen and paper and write out the perfect job for yourself. Be as detailed as you please. Don’t hold yourself to your sense of what is realistic because, as a new grad, you don’t know every option the world holds. Describe your day, your compensation, the impact of your work, the type of people you work with and everything that matters to you. Then, go find it! – Tyler Bray, TK Trailer Parts

8. Take Initiative

Don’t wait for opportunities to come to you; seek them out and create them for yourself. Whether it’s taking on additional responsibilities, seeking out mentors or networking with professionals in your field, be willing to put in the work and take calculated risks to achieve your goals. Be open to learning from your mistakes and adjusting your course as needed. – Kelly Kercher, K3 Technology

9. Embrace The Unknown

Embrace the unknown! As new grads enter the workforce, being open to new experiences, challenges and opportunities will help them learn, grow and adapt in a dynamic work environment. It’s a mindset that fosters resilience, innovation and continuous learning, setting them up for a successful career launch. – Sujay Pawar, CartFlows

10. Trust Your Instincts

Trust your instincts about job offerings that seem to have red flags. While you sometimes have to settle for positions that are less than satisfactory, sometimes companies are taking advantage of your lack of experience to underpay or violate expectations of candidacy. Never hesitate to ask for help from trusted mentors in your life to review any contracts or terms. – Duran Inci, Optimum7

11. Prioritize Self-Care

One piece of advice I would give new grads entering the workforce is to prioritize self-care. Launching a career can be stressful and overwhelming, and it’s important to take time for yourself to recharge and avoid burnout. This can mean different things for different people, whether it’s taking breaks throughout the day, practicing mindfulness or finding a physical activity you enjoy. – Pratik Chaskar, Spectra

12. Be Open To All Opportunities

Be open to opportunities that may not seem like your ideal fit. You are not likely to land your dream job on day one. Being receptive to different roles that you come across is going to help you find the right position. You never really know what life is going to throw at you, but the more receptive you are to opportunities, the further you will go. – Jennifer A Barnes, Optima Office, Inc.
