What were you thinking? Huh?

It’s not likely to fall on your laps. You have to go hard.

Huh? Or what were you thinking?

Don’t complain. Stay on your grind.

Be the absolute best at what you do.

Connect with people that have ideas, people that can mentor you, people you can grind with.

Don’t play the victim card, you are smarter than that.

Disappointments and rejection are part of the journey. They shouldn’t break you.

Be dogged. Don’t take no for an answer. Never stop asking.

Get tired and get up.

Dodge bullets of comparison, they can kill you!

Be committed to growth. Take your life seriously.

Set goals and go for them.

The life you want is available. Take responsibility for bringing it to fruition.

Give yourself time but you must strike a balance because time is not giving itself to you or anyone. Tick.. tock.

If all you did was show up, you’ve fulfilled 70% of the requirements.

Show up!
