and never be afraid to experiment. The Gods were all in the same position as you
at one point in time. Remember that!

underestimate your competitors.

the blink of an eye.

King Leonidas proved that even the seemingly untouchable Xerxes was capable of
bleeding after all.
It is easy to look at the true juggernauts in a specific field and think it’s impossible
to compete against someone of that size. No one is untouchable, and great ideas
rule the world.

god-like competition.

ended up helping him to both
riches and companionship.

your weaknesses, and use
networking to take advantage
of both. If you can’t be
successful in one route, look at
others. keep your best interests
at the forefront of your decision
making process.

must learn how to set up our battle plan that best suits our desired results This story will
always be told not necessarily cause they won but because they were brave. Great
leaders are brave and bold not bossy and cold! How about you???
