Growth doesn’t happen by accident. If you want it, you have got to do the work, the hard work.
Do not focus on what you do not know. Instead, focus on what you can do to change your situation.
According to Stacey Abrams and Lara Hodgson, ‘You don’t have to be an expert to solve a problem. A lack of knowledge can be a blessing.’
‘Get comfortable with ambiguity. Not having all the answers at the outset can lead you to new ideas and solutions you never would have considered.’
‘Share your ideas with others. … If you don’t share it, no one can help.’
‘Dig deeper to find the root causes or systemic issues rather than solving for symptoms.’
‘Acknowledge hurdles and forces that are bigger than you, but don’t let that deter you. Instead, find others to help you tilt the scales in your favor.’
‘You don’t know what you don’t know. Focus on finding the right questions over the right answers.’
‘Time kills all deals. Don’t let perfect get in the way of progress.’
‘Do not play the blame game. Focus on solutions and move on.’
‘When something fails, mourn and then move on. The next opportunity is around the corner.’
‘Sometimes what is holding you back is not a glass ceiling but rather a sticky floor. Don’t let your self-doubt overcome you. Why shouldn’t you be the one to solve this problem?’
