The secret of every leader and entrepreneur

Nothing archane... the only mandatory thing you have to have is self motivation, your inner compass that drives you towards your finish line?

It doesn't matter if you're the only one who thinks this is the right direction; it's beneficial to listen to the people around you, but you don't have to do what they say.

One of my favorite songs by Otis Redding says, "I can't do what ten people tell me to do, so I guess I'll remain the same". And that doesn't mean that you don't evolve. It just means that you stay true to yourself.

It doesn't matter if everyone else is doing things in a different way, it's no guarantee that's the right way, it could be that no one else has discovered a better way... yet.

Borrowing Nelson Mandela's sublime words: "It always seems impossible until done".

It doesn't matter if the others seem to have more success than you at a certain time, your next jump will be more visible. And you can learn from their mistakes.?

And finally, it doesn't matter if you realize that the destination is no longer the right one for you, you can quit and focus on a better one.?

It's okay to be scared as long as you react, it's okay to fail as long as you learn, it's ok to change your mind and adapt. What you cannot do is give up.
