Who knows what is going to happen tomorrow? No one knows what is going to happen in the future.
But we can get to work. Because tomorrow starts today, right now. If we want the future to be better, we have got to be better.
‘Attitude is key. If you assume everything, even a problem, is a gift, it invariably will be.’
‘Before beginning anything new, ask yourself this: ‘Is this something I really want to do?’
‘Failing is an important part of the act. Learn. Build. Repeat. model. Unfortunately.’
‘Mistakes are simply part of the learning process. The ‘secret’ is to make sure that they don’t cost you too much and that you do, in fact, learn from each one and build that learning into the next step you take.’
‘You need to put your thoughts into action to see if you are right about there being a potential audience/customer for your idea (and learn what you need to change if there is not). Thinking by itself doesn’t accomplish anything.‘
‘What if you can’t come up with an idea to get yourself started? The place most people begin is by asking, ‘What am I good at?’
‘The people who are best at dealing with uncertainty are serial entrepreneurs.’
‘If you aren’t spending at least six hours a week- about an hour a day- preparing for your next career, you run the risk of falling behind. Start today.’
‘Instead of searching for the perfect job, why not create it?
‘There is a proven path for dealing with uncertainty: proceeds as proven entrepreneurs do. After all, there is nothing more uncertain than starting a business, and these people have done it successfully. What has worked for them will work for you.’
