You will miss as many opportunities as you fail to try.
Don’t hesitate to take chances, you will never know if it was yours unless you try. In the worse case, you will learn through the process.

Walking 20 minutes + everyday is the biggest prediction of longevity.
It’s even better to walk w/ someone as you talk, fight depression & grow healthier together.
One of the reasons some people are more successful than others is that they manage better their time. Think about how you use your time, how you prioritize your objectives, and you will start noticing things that need to change.

Self care is not a luxury, it´s not a nice 2 have so we can squeeze it into our busy schedules & pressure of this fast paced world - it is mission critical. Thus, let us book time for sport, sleep, fun & more. We can’t be efficient at work if we aren’t taking care of ourselves.
An encouragement to our entrepreneurs: The test is not about getting the business right the 1st, 2nd or 3rd time; the test if whether you have the determination to succeed & learn along the way.
