3 IDEAS FROM ME
I.
“Good choices create opportunities. Good habits make the most of them.”
II.
“Consistency before intensity.
Start small and become the kind of person who shows up every day. Build a new identity.
Then increase the intensity.”
III.
“Asking what makes someone successful is like asking which ingredient makes a recipe taste good. It’s not any single ingredient. It is the combination of many ingredients in the right proportions and in the right order—and the absence of anything that would ruin the mixture.”
