3 Key Points
- If you feel like you’re not cut out for the nine-to-five life, you’re probably right… But becoming a successful entrepreneur doesn’t happen overnight. Get clarity on your vision, then take the first steps…
- Everyone has ideas, but few start the journey to making them reality, and fewer follow through. It takes more than a vision for the future—to reach your destination, you need to continuously correct your course and develop a healthy relationship with failure.
- If you’re thinking about leaving the corporate world behind, ask yourself these three questions…
A. What’s the worst that could happen if I tried?
B. Ten years from now, will I regret not having tried?
C. What’s the tiniest first step I can take today towards your dream?
