What is one word I should use often if I want to be successful?

- Answered by Cammi Pham, Ecommerce Business Consultant

NO If you think and act like the 99 per cent, you will never become the 1 per cent. You live in a box. You drive in a box. One day you will be buried in a box. Don’t live your life in box. #CrushTheBo­x That requires you to say no a lot. Lie to yourself: You are never ready but that is not a good reason to stop. If you wait until you are ready, you will get all the left over. You need to say no to yourself even if it is a lie. Do things that scare you. If it doesn’t scare you, it is too easy. Cheat on everyone and yourself. Great vision requires a lot of focus. To turn your dream into reality, you will have to cheat on everyone and yourself. You will have to say no to people who don’t appreciate your time. You will have to say no to people who don’t believe in your dream. Every idea looks bad before you succeed. You will have to say no to yourself to stay focus. Steal knowledge. At any price, invest in yourself and gather more knowledge. Don’t let anything stop you. Kill your own ideas. You need to have the right people at the right time and right place. If one of the elements is missing, it doesn’t matter how good your idea is, it won’t work out. A lot of time the opportunit­y cost of chasing the wrong dream is the opportunit­y to turn another dream into reality. You need to know how to say no and kill ideas/projects when you need to do it. My favorite architect taught me “Less is more.” Say no a lot. Say no often. Focus on less things, and do the best you can.
