Nice guys get paid last...
— Fraser Davidson on getting paid

Here’s some of the key takeaway points:

  • You're nearly there with your dream job, don't go all through uni/college training and just give in to taking jobs soley for the money

  • Do side projects you're passionate about, be creative and use that to get your dream work

  • Don't over deliver early on, you'll dig yourself into a hole you're not getting paid enough to get out of

  • Find your niche. You're known for what you do: 'people don't ask you to do things they don't know you can do'

  • Starting a company where someone else is dealing with the technical 'business' side of things has freed him up creatively

  • Nice guys get paid last - if someone owes you money, be persistent in asking for it
