- You earn respect by demonstrating to the world that you’re fearless, and that you’re willing to put yourself out there in order to grow.
- Scale is most effective when led by a true leader – someone who motivates and drives others to do better and reach higher.
- That target in life should always be happiness. It’s up to you to decide what that comprises. if it’s wealth, then work hard. If it’s time, then make that happen for yourself.
