All in Success
Ambitious aims and high expectations should inspire us. And yet, they become a source of anxiety when we let them distract us from the task at hand. By learning to remain in the present moment, break up our workload and take things slowly, we won’t just increase our productivity: we’ll also feel more fulfilled as we make progress toward our goals at our own pace.
The path to a successful venture is a lifelong journey, as stories of influential mentors show. Whether their childhood is full of inspiration or adversity, mentors learn from their experiences, discovering their true values and skills that would serve them well down the line.
Failure is inevitable, but it can also be beneficial. From revealing new ideas and pushing us to become our best, to helping us learn about our weaknesses, experiences of failure provide us with valuable opportunities. Along with clear goal-setting and a positive mindset, embracing failure is key to unlocking success.

The founders of Microsoft, Intel and Apple all built their tech empires using the same strategies: they knew to create a vision, define a plan to realize it and take risks without endangering their entire company. Once their businesses were going strong, they launched them into the stratosphere beyond their competitors by sharing their talents with their companies and building platforms that established their products as industry standards.
Trust is a universal asset that can be created by every one of us. Trust changes everything for the better by speeding up interactions and lowering costs. If we conduct ourselves in ways that promote trust, it will flourish and we will witness the difference in our companies and our personal relationships.
