If you’re having trouble breaking out of a creative funk, here are 20 inspiring ideas that will help you reframe the way you think about money and success.
- Starting a business will not automatically improve the quality of your life.
- Being a beginner is one of the most powerful positions you can find yourself in. Ignorance and the willingness to change and adapt almost always leads to positive growth.
- If your work is incredible, you won’t need to beg people.
- Popularity is not a business strategy. It’s a tactic at best. And it can fade, quickly.
- Just because you’re scared doesn’t mean you can’t be brave. All warriors feel fear.
- Jealousy is when you overestimate others and underestimate yourself.
- You can binge an entire series on Netflix this weekend and still be successful. Just so you know.
- If you want better answers, ask better questions. Begin by challenging the beliefs you already hold. Where can you prove yourself wrong?
- Successful people still get scared. We still procrastinate and mess things up. You don’t have to be perfect to live an incredible life.
- “Letting go” is not the same thing as “giving up.” One comes from a place of strength. The other, from a place of fear. Choose wisely.
