Let go of the need for a specific result. Don't care what other people are doing. Don't care what other people think. Care intensely about those you serve. Business is all about who you are as a person, it’s an expression and will impact those that are around you. Your work is your craft, it’s personal.Work hard on your craft, spend the money to get the skills and learn from others that are better than you. If you are the best teacher in the room, you’re in the wrong room, if you the poorest or the least informed person in the room, you’re in the right room. Invest in yourself. Don’t ask for permission.Whose permission do you need to be happy? To be wealthy? Learn through doing. You will always be waiting, there’s never going to be a perfect time, so start anyway. Don’t take yourself too seriously.If you take yourself too seriously, you’re probably not going to have any fun.
