1. Don’t worry about money; worry about the opportunity and money will follow.
Chasing money early in your career, is usually a bad choice.
You are much better served building up your skills and knowledge.
Taking this longer-term career view pays off.

2. Take your chances when you are young.
Take the risky path with great upside potential every chance you get.
I’m not saying you should take foolish risks. I am saying take smart, calculated risks.
You have the rest of your life to recover if things don’t go as planned.

3. Stay focused on the prize.
The art of focus is so important in life and business. You multiply your effectiveness when you focus on a limited number of tasks.
Conversely you spread yourself way too thin by focusing on too many things at once.

4. A positive mindset allows opportunity into your life
Opportunity is all around us, we just need to see it.
Negativity makes the world so cloudy that you can’t see the opportunity right in front of you.
You can see all the opportunities for a happy life when you are positive

5. The difference between being a success or a failure is the ability to get up after you’ve failed.
Failure is painful. Failure hurts a lot. You’ve just got to fight through the pain, the hurt, and the negative thoughts.
Successful people shrugged off failure multiple times.

6. Don’t live someone else’s life.
Don’t let your parents, friends, or anyone else tell you how to live your life.
Take their advice and then do what you think is right.

7. Make money and have fun.
This is a great career check test. Ask yourself every year, “Am I making the money I want to make, and I am having fun making money?”
You are on course if the answer is yes. You need to make some changes if the answer is no.

8. Don’t worry about what others are thinking of you because nobody cares.
No one is spending their waking moments laughing at you because you didn’t get the promotion.
Everyone is too busy with their problems and their lives.

9. Be grateful for what you have and be grateful for what you don’t have.
Go ahead and think about it for a second.
Okay. The gratitude for what you have is obvious. But think about all the bad things you don’t have. It could be a lot worse.

10. The longer the wait, the greater the satisfaction.
Have you been waiting a long time for things to go your way? This one’s for you.
Just keep working hard, getting feedback, and adjusting course along the way. Remind yourself of how great it will feel when you finally win.
