Own Your Sh*t.
November 09, 2018 11:37 - 5 minutes - 4.1 MBMost of us have an idea of what we want to do or would like to do. We know where our passions are and what we would do as a career given the choice. But we rarely voice these dreams. We do not own them, making it harder to garner support and more difficult to get off the ground. Even those who do start, failure to truly own what you do is limiting your ability to be successful and fully commit to chasing your dreams. Own what you want, regardless of how crazy. And, own what you do, regardless...

Failing is not Failure.
September 28, 2018 15:20 - 4 minutes - 3.08 MBFailing is looked at in the wrong way in my opinion. Every failure is validated learning, something so incredibly valuable. You should seek out opportunities to try new things, keep failing and keep learning. Every failure is ultimately making you a more well rounded individual, so go fail and do it as often as you can. Soon enough the failures will be overshadowed by the big wins. My YouTube: youtube.com/benjaminhaydenleavittMy Instagram: @benjaminhaydenleavittMy Twitter: @b_snizz
