Be Focused
Focus comes from loving what you do and seeing a future in it. According to him, “you shouldn’t take your business or job as something you must do; you must see it as a hobby. If it’s a hobby then you’ll do it better.”Think Ahead
The more evolving your industry is, the more you have to think ahead and weigh your options before taking action.
