Work out = Work hard

Sure I was given a great bit of help, but the bottom line is that no one does anything alone. It is all about who you know and who is helping you. Combining knowledge can only be helpful if you can actually find people to help you! DO MORE OF IT. Seems simple but it is definitely the easiest thing to miss in the tech age . So easy to send a Linkedin message or get on a call, but there is something about being in person that is almost undeniable, you have to be fully engaged you have to acknowledge every little piece of info and that makes a difference and is much more of a powerful window of who someone is. I need to push myself to be more in-person and more visceral.

More better people. Work hard at relationships. It is all about getting to that next stage, that next level, the upper echelon. I can feel myself going into a major junction in my life. Where disparity is so vast from my own perspective.

Do it for the right reasons. Selfish only gets you so far. Be the right person. Know your situations. Put the right amount of effort in so that you can be entitled to manipulate the conversational direction.

Be ready to be opportunistic. Be ready to be humbled. Be yourself to be genuine. Be present to be in depth. Be helpful to be needed.

Have a process. Figure out how to get the most out of yourself. You need to be able to turn it on and keep it on. How bad do you really want this? If you have to keep asking yourself that question then what is the answer? Why ask if you already have conviction with you answer?

Make the Right choices. Live sustainably. Burn hot and slow.

Love human connection, that is the real gift of having things work out.
