To be yourself in a world that
is constantly trying to make
you something else is the
greatest accomplishment.

10 Lessons Ive Learned
(The Hard Way)
 Remain True to Yourself, Your Values & Your
Morals. Fight for What Youre Worth
(Financially too).
 Politics are a Part of Business and You Will
Have to Play Them. Stand Up for What You
See as Right & Listen to Your Gut.
 Seek Respect over Attention. Know when To
Speak Up & Know When to Shut Up
(Silence can also be quite powerful)
 Break the Rules: Dont Be Patient. Be All In
or Get Out. No Halfway.
 Make Mistakes. Own Them. Apologize and
Learn.
 Youre Not Going to Like Everyone.
Everyone isnt Going to Like You. Thats
Okay. Be Kind & Respect Differences.
You May Learn Something.
 But Put Yourself In Others Shoes Before
You Judge and Before you Speak.
 Dont Put Up with Assholes & Dont Deal
with Bullshit. Dont Be Afraid to Call
People on it, including Yourself.
 Stay Grounded. Everyone is a Person.
 Inspire. Teach. Learn. Push Your
Boundaries. Have Fun. Work is Part of
Your Life. Make it Worth its While
THANK YOU!
