giving-up opportunity hands
Living with doubt ... is almost always more profitable than living with certainty. People don't like doubt, so they pay money and give up opportunities to avoid it. Entrepreneurshi p is largely about living with doubt. If you need reassurance, you're giving up quite a bit to get it. On the other hand, if you can get in the habit of seeking out uncertainty, you'll have developed a great instinct.
pain pride opportunity
Life is not about gutting out every situation. It's about identifying opportunity or the lack thereof. If your pride is all that is standing in the way of quitting, quit. The right people won't care and the wrong people don't matter. If you know you're on the right path, persevere though the pain. It will be worth it.
business opportunity giving
Saying no to loud people gives you the resources to say yes to important opportunities.
opportunity generosity different
Viewing the web as a platform for generosity is very different than seeing an opportunity to turn it into an ATM machine.
opportunity people giving
Too often, we don't give people the opportunity to fill in the blanks.
opportunity play dumb
Faced with the opportunity to become the category of one, we almost always hesitate, almost always compromise, almost always dumb it down to play it a little bit safer
gratitude opportunity
Gratitude and opportunity create more of the same.
business opportunity goal
Change is not a threat, it's an opportunity. Survival is not the goal, transformative success is.
motivational opportunity winning
Organizations that destroy the status quo win. Whatever the status quo is, changing it gives you the opportunity to be remarkable.
motivational running opportunity
The people who are good in the long run fail a lot, especially at the beginning. So, when you fail early, it might be worth realizing that this is part of the deal, the price you pay for being good in the long run. Every rejection is a gift. A chance to learn and to do it better next time. An opportunity to figure out how to bounce, not break. Don't waste them.
life work opportunity
The opportunity is not in being momentarily popular with the anonymous masses. It's in being missed when you're gone, in doing work that matters to the tribe you choose.
opportunity goal people
The goal, then, isn't to draw some positioning charts and announce that you have differentiated your product. No, the opportunity is to actually create something that people choose to talk about, regardless of what the competition is doing.
opportunity differences making-a-difference
If you've got the platform and the ability to make a difference, then this goes beyond 'should' and reaches the level of 'must.' You must make a difference or you squander the opportunity. Wasting the opportunity both degrades your own ability to contribute and, more urgently, takes something away from the rest of us.
opportunity giving waiting
The opportunity of a lifetime is to pick yourself. Quit waiting to get picked; quit waiting for someone to give you permission; quit waiting for someone to say you are officially qualified... and pick yourself.
