We examine how new hires can swiftly reach the breakeven point—the point where you have produced as much value as you have received from your organization. Firstly, we need to understand our own blindspots. Secondly, we need a systematic plan to accelerate our learning. This involves the use of a 'Learning Agenda,' a structured set of questions to focus your learning during the onboarding process, enabling you to manage information overload effectively. Thirdly, we discuss how to negotiate success with your manager, emphasizing the importance of setting the right expectations and regularly reviewing performance metrics. Finally, we explore how to secure early wins with colleagues, underlining that positive first impressions formed within the first 30 days can set you up for long-term success. *THE NO BS PRODUCTIVITY NEWSLETTER* 📧 https://www.jeffsu.org/productivity-ping/ *TIMESTAMPS* 00:00 What does “success” look like for new hires? 00:40 Common onboarding mistakes for new hires 01:02 How to create a virtuous cycle ASAP 01:26 Understand your blindspots 03:42 Accelerate your learning systematically 05:11 Negotiate success with your boss 06:19 Secure early wins with colleagues 07:41 Summary of the First 90 Days *RESOURCES I MENTION IN THE VIDEO* What makes a Great Manager - https://youtu.be/84kPR_NDjI8 Create a 30-60-90 Onboarding Plan - https://youtu.be/Q07rFZtc2Ao *MY FAVORITE GEAR* 🎬 My YouTube Gear - https://www.jeffsu.org/yt-gear/ 🎒 Everyday Carry - https://www.jeffsu.org/my-edc/ *MY TOP 3 FAVORITE SOFTWARE* ❎ CleanShot X - https://geni.us/cleanshotx ✍️ Skillshare - https://geni.us/skillshare-jeff 📖 Readwise - https://readwise.io/jeffsu/ *BE MY FRIEND:* 📧 Subscribe to my Productivit
