I’ve come to understand that as I increase in abundance and become more visible in this market place, I will encounter people who won’t be happy with my success. The reasons why are many – jealousy, envy, the way I talk, my height – who knows (and frankly, who cares).<\/p>\n
You see, those who have lots of fans and critics do so because they have chosen not to play it safe. Think of any guru out there and I can bet that they are successful because they took a position on a topic, defended it well and stuck to their morals.<\/p>\n
I’ve come to understand that there are 2 ways I can approach my business: I can be mediocre and coast through life or I can strive for excellence and make an impact. I choose the latter.<\/p>\n
I know you want to be a person of excellence. So, the next time you make excuses or give in to your fears, remember some of my favorite quotes:<\/p>\n
“If you obey all the rules, you miss all the fun.”<\/em>
\n— Katherine Hepburn<\/p><\/blockquote>\n“Be you because everyone else is already taken.”<\/em>
\n— Oscar Wilde<\/p><\/blockquote>\n“Well behaved women rarely make history.”<\/em>
\n— Laurel Thatcher Ulrich<\/p><\/blockquote>\nI trust that these quotes will help you create a business that makes a profound difference in this world. Stop being paralyzed by what people think, okay?<\/p>\n
