Key Takeaways:
The degree may get you your first job but the rest of your career will depend on your knowledge and work ethic.
“You don’t know what in somebody else’s life will turn out to be inspirational for you.”
Train your mind to see yourself as successful and do it regularly.
The fear of failure is one of the biggest deterrents to taking intentional action.
Don’t let fear cheat you out of success.
One question to ask yourself is “What’s the absolute worst thing that could happen if this doesn’t turn out well?”
Most times the answer to the above question may not mean much besides lost time, money and possible embarrassment. If you have great relationships that can help you overcome most of these.
With new endeavors, you will either succeed or learn.
It’s all about how you look at life’s challenges.
Persuasive language is one of the most powerful skills to have in your arsenal.
Learn to use your language well in written and verbal form.
“Procrastination is the thief of life.”
Procrastination is born in fear.
Always set new goals after achieving past goals.
Most of us don’t dream big enough.
