“We can't trust ourselves to be perfect. We can't trust ourselves to be the best at anything. We can't trust ourselves to succeed. We can't trust ourselves to never cause harm and hurt. What we can trust is our disciplined effort to get to know ourselves. We can learn to know our triggers, our habitual reactions, our strengths, and weakness. All of this is possible and essential if we are to lead sanely in the midst of falling apart craziness.”

― Margaret J. Wheatley, Author & Management Consultant

I. 7 Rules of Life

  1. Make peace with your past so it won’t mess with your present.

  2. What others think of you is none of your business.

  3. Time heals almost everything, so give it time.

  4. Don’t compare your life to others, and don’t judge them.

  5. Stop thinking so much, it’s alright not to know the answers.

  6. No one is in charge of your happiness, except you.

  7. Smile, for you don’t own all the problems in the world.

II. Developing An Entrepreneurial Mindset

We can hone the skillsets required for successful entrepreneurship no matter our current job title.

  • Set clear goals. Setting a goal—speaking it to the universe, writing it down, mentioning it to friends and family who will hold you accountable—can subtly influence aspiring entrepreneurs to work towards that goal bit by bit each day.

  • Practice being decisive. Entrepreneurs, innovators, and new business owners must develop the ability to analyze a situation, absorb the relevant data, and make a confident decision.

  • Redefine failure. Failing typically has negative connotations, but the best entrepreneurs turn failure into something positive. Failing indicates that you’ve tried something, which can be a scary thing to do. True failure is not trying at all.

  • Face your fears. Many entrepreneurs fear public speaking, failure, and embarrassment. The only way to chisel away at that fear is to expose yourself to it. Getting rejected again and again will anesthetize you to the letdown.

  • Remain curious. Curiosity is one of the most important traits for entrepreneurs. To constantly learn and maintain your competitive edge, you must always seek out new people and new experiences. Never lose the curiosity to see around corners.

III. Living Our Truth

  • Who we really are?

  • How we really feel?

  • What we really desire?

  • What we really dream?

“Truth makes you rise to new heights, no matter where you are.” ― Kamal Ravikant, Live Your Truth

  2. Smile more and say I love you.

  3. Lean into my creative brilliance.

  4. Take more mindful deep breaths.

  5. Control my attitude and thoughts.

The Last Words…

“Bravery is the audacity to be unhindered by failures and to walk with freedom, strength, and hope in the face of things unknown.”

― Morgan Harper Nichols, Artist, Poet & Musician
