Notes from Today’s Episode: Create a plan and reverse engineer it The drive to learn more and wanting to get better ultimately pays off Continually ask questions, participate in communities and keep pushing Adding value also raises your value in the market place With a business or anything, you need to have a goal that is beyond working, something you would love to do… Demystifying myths Creative block, most times when people hit blocks, they feel they can’t get anything done. Don’t let yourself be trapped because you can’t think of anything clever or new, you can take ideas and structures from other places, work through putting something together, it might not be the most amazing thing, but it is better to do something than nothing, focus on finishing, this way you have made progress.
