Throughout my career I have experienced many successes and won many awards. However, for every shiny award, victory, and pat on the back, there have been many more failures and defeats.
The biggest takeaway I’ve learned about success in my career is this:
Success is not so much what we have as it is what we are.

Almost every success story that I've heard or know of, brought me to the realization that it all began with a positive mindset.
To say that another way, almost every sad story I've heard or know, I realize it was driven by a poverty mindset: “I am poor and nothing is going to change,” or “I'm not good enough”.
It’s easy to get stuck telling yourself negative stories over and over again.

There’s nothing more valuable to the entrepreneur than TIME…
When you are growing your agency, the single biggest delay is almost always …
GOING AT IT ALONE.
The best thing you can do as a business owner is:
leverage your time
avoid common mistakes
seek out the advice of experts.

As a business owner, you are in a leadership position, and your leadership style affects not only how your employees view you, but more importantly how they respond to your action (or lack of action).
All leadership positions are subject to this equally.
Many people never really manage to enjoy their lives.
They spend day after day just going through the motions, hoping things will get better. I was guilty of this for years, and let me tell you, it’s no way to live your life or run your business.
