Learn to make risk its own reward.

If you want to learn how far you’ll go, start by addressing your relationship with risk. Most people will turn around before they start facing the *real* difficulties, but the ultra-successful are ready, willing, and excited to dive right in.

We’ve all heard the phrase “no risk, no reward,” but challenge yourself to take it one step further: make risk its own reward.

Fall in love with the process of taking risks, exploring uncharted territory, and forging ahead into the unknown. You’ll be surprised by how far it takes you.

1. Tired of waiting for the things you want? Good - time to use that frustration as fuel.

2. Want an instant level-up? Identify one risk you can take right now, and do it.

3. Stop focusing on crossing the finish line, and start paying attention to every single step that will take you there.

4. Pay attention to what is and isn’t working, and don’t be afraid to make some tough calls.

5. If you want to be successful, you have to be willing to show up in ways that everyone else isn’t.

6. This is why “Writing is rewriting” is so important. Change is inevitable - you can either let it happen to you or you can make it work for you. The choice is yours.

Your biggest obstacle isn’t your skill set - it’s yourself.

Skills are easy to learn. There are countless resources available - many of which are free to access online - which means there’s no shortage of opportunities to brush up your skills.

In reality, it’s your actions or hesitations that matter. You can gather all of the skills and talent in the world, but if you’re too afraid to act then you’re going to be left behind.

It’s time to ask yourself some critical questions: Where are you showing up? Where are you holding back? What are you willing to do for what you want?
