3. Always Win
This is nothing more than a pipe dream because you are going to lose a lot.
Social media is quick to post W’s but slow to show you the L’s it took to get there.
Being okay with losing is more profitable in the long term and leads to more victories down the road.

4. All Publicity is Good Publicity
In the age of social media, where an old Twitter post can get you fired from your job, this saying has no truth in it.

5. You Can Do Anything You Set Your Mind To
This might be a good bumper sticker, but it has zero application to real life.
You can’t do anything you set your mind to.
Instead, identify your strengths and natural talents, then pursue the things that don’t feel like work.

6. Go The Cheap Way
“The cheap way” ALWAYS becomes the expensive way.
Deciding to go cheap means you’ll pay less now but more later (a lot more).
Always be suspicious of low prices or free things. Being cheap will make you broke.

Improving weaknesses will make you mediocre, improving strengths will make you unstoppable.

9. You Need A Five Year Plan
Creating a five-year plan is really just a way to make you feel like you’re doing something.
Instead, set up a one-year plan with quarterly goals and have a system you follow daily to meet those goals.

10. Move On From Rejections Right Away
If you’re in business, you’re going to be told “no” a lot.
The worst thing you can do is accept that answer and move on.
Listen carefully to why they said no, and you’ll know how to make it a yes.

11. Scale As Fast As Possible
There is absolutely nothing wrong with scaling.
Every business should be built to scale.
The problem is you can’t scale overnight, and those trying to do so are looking for a shortcut that doesn’t exist.
You should scale at a rate you can handle.
