Entrepreneurship isn't about avoiding a boss, it's about choosing your own battles.

You still answer to customers, the market, and sometimes, hard truths about yourself.

Being 'busy' is not a status symbol.

Don't mistake visibility for achievement.

Likes and retweets are great, but they don't pay the bills.

Success leaves clues, but so does failure.

Pay attention to what's NOT working in your field.

Then be the one to provide the solution the market desperately needs.

Talent isn't enough.

Tenacity isn't enough.

What separates the good from the great is knowing when to use each.

Some days you push, others you pivot.

Understanding that is a superpower.

The worst deals are the ones you almost take.

They waste your time and, worse, distract you from the ones worth pursuing.

Learn when to pull the plug and move on.

Too many people get obsessed with tools and tactics.

The biggest win is in your head: Unwavering belief that you'll figure it out, no matter what.

Being too proud to ask for help will keep you broke.

Biggest life hack I've learned: Your feelings are terrible predictors of financial success.

Do what needs doing, whether you feel like it or not.

Want to win?

Stop benchmarking yourself against the average.

Find the very best at your craft, obsess over them, then figure out how to be better.

The world doesn't owe you a living.

It owes you an opportunity, and they're everywhere if you look hard enough.

Feeling unmotivated? It's not a lack of willpower, it's a lack of clarity.

Define EXACTLY what you want, and the 'how' becomes obvious.

The key difference between rich and poor isn't intelligence, it's tolerance for discomfort.

If someone gives you 'life-changing' advice but their own life isn't where you want to be, why are you listening?

The most dangerous kind of broke isn't in your bank account, it's in your belief system.

Fix that, and the money will follow.

'Self-made' is a myth.

Every success stands on the shoulders of someone else's help and knowledge.

Pay it forward, and don't be afraid to ask for what you need.

Being good won't get you paid what you deserve.

Knowing your worth, and being relentless about demanding it, will.

Negotiate hard, always.

Your network is your net worth.

But not every connection is an asset.

Surround yourself with people who elevate your game, not just talk a good one.

'Everyone wants it, few will do what it takes.'

Applies to getting in shape, finding a great partner, and yes, making good money.
