Many people want to grow and develop but ignore the things that you actually need to live life powerfully.

9 things I recommend learning to do:

1) Get motivation from being underestimated. Few people ever see your full potential. Enjoy making them see.

2) Actively seek out negative feedback. Learn to strip out the emotional content and only focus on the substance. What are they saying you can improve? Take that, discard everything else.

3) Plan to fail. Most people have dreams of perfection. They see their diet/business/relationship working perfectly and when it doesn't, they give up. Expect it and you'll be mentally prepared.

4) Test your ideas out on people who disagree with you. Enjoy debate. Notice what you get emotional about in arguments - that's something you haven't fully worked out yet.

5) Learn to manage money. Most people focus on making money but the more you have, the harder it gets. If you learn to manage money when you have none, managing lots of money is easy.

6) Kill your desire for adulation. People want fame, status and celebrity to fill a void. Especially true of comedians and other performers. The desire to be liked and admired is the main thing stopping you from being liked and admired.

7) Do everything you can to learn to read other people. Ask questions and watch how they respond. Keep doing this until you know what the response will be before you've asked the question.

8) Pay attention to what is NOT there. The most important information is often contained in what is not being said. For example, I can usually tell if a person is in a loving relationship within a few minutes of meeting them without them ever saying anything about it.

9) Learn courage. Courage is the process of sacrificing short term gains for long term gains. It will often not feel that way in the moment. It's a skill, nothing more. Practice it.
