If you want to get ahead in your life, if you want to win, you must, according to Liz Elting, ‘Never forget that you are your own greatest resource. When you work harder than most, the world is there for the taking… and then, the changing.’
‘You not need them to be an honest steward of your business, but you also want them to have enough integrity to be honest with you.’
‘Choose sanity over vanity.’
‘If we just show up when others don’t and outwork everyone else, we can accomplish great things in this world.’
‘The moment you stop improving is the moment you stagnate.’
‘You’re never going to advance if you allow yourself to slide. Meet your metrics. The ability to drive yourself past your comfort zone is the difference between a person who can run incredibly fast and an Olympic athelete.’
‘Work today like no one else will so you can live tomorrow like no one else can.’
‘No one will value you if you don’t first value yourself.’
‘Circumstances are temporary, but your attitude is permanent. Quiet quitting sets an ugly precedent within yourself; don’t succumb to it.’
‘If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. No one gives you something for nothing. Do your due diligence, conduct your research, and ask around to make sure you’re getting the full story.’
If you want to get ahead in your life, you have got to be willing to do the work. The question is, ‘Will you do it?’
