Key Takeaways
Take opportunities that arise - You never know where they may lead and what you may learn, so instead of looking for the perfect scenario take opportunities that present themselves.
Create a wall of why - A great idea to keep you motivated in those times where you find yourself questioning what you are trying to achieve.
Develop a thick skin - You are bound to come across some negative feedback or setbacks on your journey, try and think of these as lessons that you can learn from.
Be a good communicator - In any walk of life, communication is such a key tool. Even if you think you are amazing, ask someone you know for honest advice on areas you can improve on.
