Teamwork
Team work makes the dream work. Nothing great was ever accomplished by an individual. Learn to work with and lead people.
Alone you go faster but together you go farther.
Business is a TEAM sport. If you want to go far in business, you have to figure out how to work effectively with partners, serve customers, and get the most out of the people who work for you. Leadership is the hardest part of business. Business would be easy if it weren’t for customers and employees.

Read
Especially biographies and memoirs.
You’ll see even the heros of your day are mortal and have has just as many ups and downs as you have.
If they can do it, you can too. Behind every accomplishment there’s untold sacrifice happening behind the scenes.
Most people won’t tell you this. They like to act like they’re god’s gift to the earth. But they almost certainly struggled and worked hard to get there.
Everyone else is just as clueless as you are. People make LOOK like they’ve got it figured out, but they don’t. -
You Don’t Ask, You Don’t Get
You Don’t Ask, You Don’t Get. When you want something in life, you have to go for it. No one is going to care as much as you will, and no one will work as hard as you to get it. The first step to getting what you want is to ask for it.

Go Big or Go Home, Baby!
If you’re going to do something, go big. It takes as much time to do something small as it does to do something big.

The 90% Rule
Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it.
Think about how calm it is in the eye of the storm.
The resilience you exhibit in the face of adversity will be what defines you as a person.
