🔑Key Takeaways🔑

🛑 💪Failure is Not a Taboo: Learn why failing is a vital prerequisite for success as an entrepreneur. (Hint: If you’re not failing you’re not taking enough risks and playing too small a game).

 

🚀 💡Overcoming Risk Adversity: Playing it safe often kills entrepreneurial dreams, so learn how to effectively balance risk and reward and operate from a spirit of abundance rather than scarcity.

 

👩🔬 🤟Own Your Journey:  No one can walk your path for you, you have to do it. If you want something, dream it, chase it, ask for feedback, ask to be on that exciting project, show that you are keen, make it happen. If you fail, figure out why, reconfigure and keep wading. Expecting the world to do it for you won't work.
