1. “Judge yourself by your own goals instead of what your peers seem to be doing.”
I think it’s safe to say that most entrepreneurs have experienced some form of self-doubt. The business route is exciting but also frightening, nothing is ever guaranteed. From time to time, especially during rough patches, entrepreneurs question their life choices; they constantly wonder if they should have got a normal stable job like their peers. However, when your fears and doubt take over, it could lead you to not fulfilling your goals. The moment you stop comparing yourself and just focus on what you’re doing, all those worries vanish.
2. “As soon as you truly commit to making something happen, the “how” will reveal itself."
As simple and cliché as it sounds, the best advice for achieving your goals is to simply make a move. Majority of people are stuck in a rut because they don’t know how to reach their ideals. But, the real issue is their commitment levels. People who are relentless in their pursuit will always take the first steps, even if they don’t know the next. They don’t focus on the "how" because taking the first step will inspire the second.
3. “A real decision is measured by the fact that you’ve taken a new action. If there’s no new action, you haven’t truly decided.”
Everyone wants something, but not everyone gets what he or she wants. The biggest difference between success endeavors and frustrated individuals is the ability to take action. You can think about an idea as much as you want, but until you take steps towards it, it will always just be an idea.
4. “The path to success is to take massive, determined action.”
Success comes to those who are willing to commit to their process, not to those who kind of want it. There are people who share the same ambitions as you, so unless you are absolutely confident and put forth the utmost effort you will be outplayed. You have to consciously decide to change in order to succeed.
5. “Your income right now is a result of your standards. It is not the industry. It is not the economy.”
It’s not about your resources, it’s about how resourceful you can be. If you can get creative enough, you will find ways to make things happen. People who claim they're not creative are just lazy and scared. If you don’t have what you want, it’s because you’ve convinced yourself that you’re comfortable with where you are. When something is a merciless need in your life, your brain will consciously and subconsciously find a way to it.
