To know more, ask great questions. To achieve more, to get to the top of your career, you must have the courage to go after what you want, to ask for what you want.

You must have the energy to go after what you want. And you must have the faith to go after what you want.

The question is, ‘Do you know what you really want?’ If you know what you want, then go for it. What are you waiting for?

You must, according to Elena and Kim, ‘Look back. Learn from your past decisions.’

‘Look inward. Ensure you are physically and mentally ready to make clearheaded decisions.’

‘Operate with personal consistency.’

‘Take a mind-set of radical accountability.’

‘Get curious and ask questions.’

‘Invest in your relationship with your boss and her boss.’

‘Rock the boat- for the sake of the business results.’

‘Ask for what you want.’

‘Know where stars are needed.’

‘Overinvest in figuring out what you walked into. What you do not know will hurt you.’

Do Not Be Afraid To Change Your Mind

If things are not working for you, do not get frustrated. Do not beat yourself up. Ask yourself, ‘What is going on? Why am I not getting it right? What am I missing?’ Never ask, ‘Why me?’ That is not good. That is not good for you. Just because you are learning does not mean you are not going to get better.

Just beacuse you are struggling to understand something does not mean you are stupid. Just because you are still trying to know yourself better doesn’t mean you are a weak person. Just because you don’t want to be abused by those who don’t know you, that doesn’t mean you are a bad person. Or that you are a loner. You are not a loner. You love yourself. You don’t want to be abused by people who don’t know what it really means to be alive.

If something is not for you, do not pretend to like it. If you do, you are wasting your time. If you are not comfortable with people, do not pretend to like them. It is okay to say, ‘I love myself more.’ Do not pretend to do anything that you are not proud of. If you do, you are hurting yourself.
