TIPS
1. USE FORCING FUNCTIONS TO MAKE YOURSELF GROW
A big motivator is a great way to really force yourself to tackle your demons and grow. Putting yourself out there in a sink or swim situation is the best way to learn fast and hard. Sherman was terrified of sales but running out of money he finally actually charged for his products and learnt how to sell them
2.DON’T DO EVERYTHING YOURSELF
‘Someone else is always better than you at something’ — Don’t try and take everything on yourself because you aren’t even the best person to do everything. People can help your idea or teach you much faster than if you do everything by yourself.
3. MUMS ARE AWESOME
Mums put in a lot of effort. Be nice to them, thank them, do random acts of kindness.
