“Fear of failure keeps more people stuck in the safety of the status quo than anything else.”
- Find your purpose
- Define your objectives
- Reach for your dream
- Fulfill your ambitions
- Achieve your goals
Discovering your “What” in life is the next step. What do you want to do? Answering this question and pursuing it through help from your “Who” network will lead you to accomplish more than you ever dreamed. Are you struggling to define the “What” in your life?
Most people never get what they want for three reasons:
- They don’t ask
- When they do ask, they ask the wrong people
- When they ask the right people they ask too vaguely
Without action, all great ideas are useless. The people who act on their ideas are in the minority.
- They start
- They are not discouraged by obstacles
- They turn mistakes and so-called failures into stunning success
- They maintain self-discipline
- They stick to it
The power that comes from tapping into your known network is all you need to achieve your dreams. To continually build on your successes you need to help others achieve their dreams. The great motivational speaker Zig Ziglar once said: “You can have everything in life you want if you will just help others get what they want.”
The Product Management Perspective: As a product manager you are responsible for leading the team to create products your market will buy. “The smart people know that the best products aren’t sold; they are bought.”
