3 Key Points:

1. You have to clear your own ceiling. You have to realize the value of what you do can’t be measured in time—it’s measured in your depth of experience.
2. If you don’t have a plan, if you don’t clearly outline where you want to go, you’re going to end up somewhere you really don’t want to be.
3. Most people want to do good, quality work. There are far fewer scammers out there than the media would have us believe—learn to live with trust.
