Become an expert!

An expert is a man who has made all the mistakes which can be made, in a narrow field.

Niels Bohr

Having wide spread interests is awesome. Also awesome is being genuinely good at one thing. Therefore find your passion and work till you pass out!

Becoming a professional means making mistake after mistake and not quitting. Then after some time you know more about your job than any other person because they quit at some point and you pushed through!

A core aspect of motivation

If you are working on something exciting that you really care about, you don’t have to be pushed. The vision pulls you.

Steve Jobs

No matter what one thinks of Apple and their products, Steve Jobs was a genius!

This quote is especially important for entrepreneurs and bosses. Why? Because they have to motivate either themselves or their employees or both.

You do not have to push your employees to be awesome as long as they work on awesome projects. If they have some freedom and work on interesting projects they will gladly rip themselves apart for your company.

Same goes for yourself: Always chose awesome over mediocre! If there is the possibility for an awesome project that might seem too big at the first glance better take a shot at it than step down and do a simpler one. You can do it and the reward will be waking up every morning motivated and pumped to start the day!

Keep awesome and interesting projects on your bucket list in order to make your life fun and interesting, both for you and the people around you.

Don’t settle. Don’t be okay with mediocre. Go for awesome, go for legendary, go for your dreams no matter how crazy they may be.

See you at the top!

Don’t wait

Opportunities multiply as they are seized.

Sun Tzu

Missing out on opportunities in order to take better ones is okay. Waiting for better ones rarely works and is slow. Because taking opportunities always creates tons of new ones.

By taking opportunities you get to know new people, new places, new jobs and you automatically reveal new interesting opportunities.

So next time instead of turning down a “not so perfect” opportunity, think about it again and just take it if you don’t have any other things on your hands.

Write that down!

Get your ideas on paper and study them. Do not let them go to waste!

Les Brown

Don’t risk forgetting awesome ideas. Keep a notepad at your bed, keep a notepad in your pockets, always have something to write on.

Trust me, you won’t regret it, always have something with you that you can write onto by hand

Live a proud and awesome life!

Let us so live that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry.

Mark Twain

If you died right now, would that affect the world? Do you have an impact on more people than your close family? If not, start to be awesome, dare to be great!

People should apreciate and value your company, they should like you and being with you and they should be sad when you are no longer around. This is not about ego or social value, it is merely about this simple equation:

People enjoy awesomeness therefore people will enjoy you as long as you are awesome.

Be polite, be friendly, do awesome stuff, support others, be kind without wanting payback, be open, be honest and after all don’t forget your goals and ambition in life!

Make it count!

Whatever you do, do it with a purpose and not for the money!

It’s easy to make a buck. It’s a lot tougher to make a difference.

Tom Brokaw

Making money is not that important after all. It is fun and games, but it won’t make you happy.

When you die you don’t want to have a high bank roll, you want to be happy so design your life in a way that you could die happily anytime!

Act!

Action is the real measure of intelligence.

Napoleon Hill

So you are damn intelligent but no one notices because you decide not to show it?

Bullshit! Real intelligence is displayed through action and rarely hidden!

Get off your lazy ass and start a legacy!

Why you should not back down from hard challenges

The steeper the mountain the harder the climb the better the view from the finishing line.

Never stop

If you have accomplished all that you have planned for yourself, you have not planned enough.
