- Avoid people that flatter you. If someone doesn’t give you an honest reflection of yourself, that person is hurting you. You need to maximise your self-awareness. To do that you need strong, honest people around you to hold up a mirror. Steer clear of gat-kruipers.
- Don’t expect someone else to save you. Only you can save you. Solve your own problems, don’t blame others, and don’t expect others to solve your problems for you.
- Grab every opportunity to lead. That’s how you really learn: Practice.
