1. Invest in multiple mentors because one will not have all the answers.
2. Connect, build and maintain relationships with people below, on and above your level.
3. Everything you do does not need to be said or shown to people. Move in silence.
4. Have one or more side hustles. Do not rely only on a 9 to 5 check.
5. Create systems and processes. Do not reinvent the wheel unless a new wheel needs to be invented.
6. Keep a beginners mindset even if you are advanced.
7. When people count you out, count yourself in. Make it happen.
8. Give back by mentoring other people and offering resources for their development.
9. Live below your means even if your have the means.
10. Control your emotions or it will control you.
11. You will make mistakes, but learn from your mistakes and move forward.
12. Fail early, often, and forward. Failure is part of the recipe towards success. Embrace it. Value it. Learn from it.
13. Your mind is an asset. Protect it at all costs.
14. People are going to talk shit whether you are Mother Teresa or the woman from the Scarlet Letter. Let them, while you focus on whatโs important: you.
15. Work hard in silence and let success be your noise.
16. Be proud of your accomplishments and do not dim your light because others are insecure and/or jealous.
17. Be assertive by speaking up for yourself, even if it ruffles feathers.
18. If you need to burn a bridge, then burn it because you know how to swim.
19. Fuck what most people think about you. Only value opinion from people who are in your inner circle and have your best interest in mind.
20. It is better to have a few solid friends, than many fake friends.
21. Access to you is a privilege, not a right. Revoke access to those who take it for granted.
22. Invest in more knowledge and less in material items. Knowledge compounds, while material items tends to enslave or become obsolete.
23. You are allowed to change your mind about your career, relationships, goals, interests, etc. Change is good.
24. You will never be perfect, but strive for perfection in everything you do.
