Do not rely on others

Never rely on other people especially if they are close to you, whenever they don't pull through you get disappointed with them and most of all you get disappointed with yourself.

Experience: We tend to rely much on people we are chummy with.  I used to fall into this trap quite often.  

Whenever I rely totally on friends, and relatives to accomplish something that I would have accomplished faster and better.  These people, through no fault of theirs almost always let me down.

If you rely on other people to do stuff for you it only means you are lazy.  And when you are lazy you take away the fun of learning for yourself and always pass the blame for failure to the other person.

Learn where you work

Where ever you get to work, aside from honing your current skillset, learn something new. You never know when a new skill can come in handy especially when in a "start-up" business 

Experience: This way of learning/working helped me initially get basic web design skills and eventually, WordPress and basic web development skills. With this, I was able to redesign myself from being in sales into being a web-savvy person. In a short period of time, I was able to offer web design services. And develop a respectable list of projects.

Strive for Perfection

Strive for perfection in everything that you do But always remember no-one is perfect so do not let a so-so result get you down. There will always be next times. It is always better to have tried and failed than not to have tried, regret eats you up more than failure...

Don't fix what is not broken

If it not broken dare not to keep on fixing, because every fix requires time and time equates to losses... Concentrate instead on enriching it for you and for others.

Look at things differently

Always be on the look out, opportunities abound, not all opportunities are equal, some will be for monetary gain, some will be for gain in experience or knowledge. Be thankful God gave you the power of thoughts and of thinking. Little bits of opportunities build you up to be able to tackle the bigger opportunities.

Turn your life around

Always be thinking that you can Always turn your life around By trying. Doing so is an exercise of Goal setting, Learning application and Constant evaluation. Never mind that you do not Hit your goals as long As you never stop

Do not create stressful situations

Doing things randomly Rather than in a specific way or order Helps by not awakening the OCD person in you. Doing so also does not let anxiety Keep you stressed up..
