My Realizations about Job & Business.
1) You aren’t paid according to how hard you work. You're paid according to how hard you are to replace. Develop deep expertise in tasks that are critical for the organisation. Be so good that people have to work with you.
2) Don't chase, attract. People will chase you when you're successful, when they need you, when you look good, & when it's popular to be connected with you. Instead of trying to convince someone that you fit into their world, build your own world. When your content is good, people will follow you. If you spend time making your garden beautiful, butterflies will come.
3) You're never too poor to start a Business. You just need a problem-solving mindset. UPS was founded by 2 teens with a bicycle & $100 borrowed from a friend.
4) It's not about who's first. It's about who gets it right. Facebook wasn't the 1st social network. Tesla wasn't the 1st to make electric cars. You can have the best product, but if you don’t know how to sell, you can't sell.
5) Think bigger. The ones who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.
6) People of all ages have started successful companies. Mark Zuckerberg founded facebook at age 19. Colonel Sanders founded KFC at age 65. .
7) Don’t be pushed by your problems. Be lead by your dreams.
😎 If there's no path, create your own path. Some people won't recognise your value. A Business Professor told Fred Smith his business idea won't work - Fred's idea was Fedex. Walt Disney was fired from a newspaper company for lacking imagination. There're always flowers for someone who wants to see them. They can ignore you now, but they'll need you later.
9) Don't wait to be great to start. Start to be great today. Your first YouTube video won't be good. Don't waste your potential because you think you're not ready. If you don't start, you can't pick up things along the way, that will help you reach your destination.
