Episode Abstract
The mindset to depend on someone else to cultivate your solutions is a trap. Let me qualify this statement. Many people that you meet will expect you to admire them at the expense of investing in yourself. You must be your best advocate. Yes of course, there are people that will genuinely care about you, however, you must develop your personal constitution. I am specifically referring to a commitment to oneself. Be self-reliant and the first driver to your success however you define it. When you truly invest in your success – the win or loss will be on your scoreboard. It not only develops expectations from others but it will help you to have high expectations of yourself.
