Tips

Throughout this week I gathered a bunch of tips about various ways to succeed in life. Here are some of my favorite tips:
1. be comfortable with uncertainty
I like this tip because I have begun to stress myself out with the uncertainty of the future. This tip reminded me to take a step back and breath.

2. Read good books and be able to talk about them
With the busy schedules we all have it can be hard to find time to fit in reading but this was a reminder that it is absolutely necessary! What you are reading could end up being a good talking point in an interview as well.

3. Be ready, and you won’t have to get ready
This tip seems simple but it couldn’t be more true. If you procrastinate working on your book, or updating your resume or whatever it may be, you could be preventing yourself from acting on an opportunity sooner.

4. Find people who are willing to champion you.

This is a reminder to find a good support system and remember that people are more willing to help you than you think. 

5. Focus on your strengths and not your weaknesses
I know I can be hard on myself about what I am capable of so this is a reminder that everyone is good a something. When you find that something, work hard at it to improve and you won’t have to dwell on your weaknesses so much.
