Believe In Yourself And Things Will Happen

In this life you can’t expect things to be handed to you on a silver platter. Things don’t just get done for you, you have to make them happen and that takes determination and a strong will to survive.

Business, no matter what industry you’re in, is a playing field. You need to study the game, own your craft, know your opponents and make your moves wisely.

Every career, every job, every industry and every aspect of the business world is cut throat. Why? It’s because everyone is trying to make it in this world. Everyone has bills to pay, a family to support, a life to lead and that requires having money in your bank account. 

There will always be someone trying to knock you down so that they can get above you, trying to climb to the top, trying to be better than you. And you know what? They may be more experienced or they may know they right people to help get them that cushy job, but if they don’t have the skills to stay there, they won’t last very long.

You have to keep pushing and pulling, you have to keep on showing the world what you’re made of. Don’t take no for an answer, don’t let anyone scare you away and don’t let them walk all over you either. There’s a line between wanting to do more than you can to move on up and prove yourself, but you also have to recognize when you’re being taken advantage of. 

There will be frustrating moments. There will be times when you want to give up. But that’s not the answer. Be strong. Be true to yourself. Remember why you want to make it, why you have to make it, and why you love what you do.

Most importantly, don't ever let anyone hold you back. Don’t let them push you down and make you believe you can’t be what you want to be. We all have it in us to succeed. Don’t expect anyone to do it for you, do it yourself. Nothing in this world comes without a price tag. You have to earn it, honestly. 

Stand up for yourself, take on any challenge life throws your way, believe in yourself and do what it takes to achieve your goals. 

Stay Sassy!

Grab Life By Its Horns

Do you grab life by its horns or are you the type of person who sits there watching silently as life passes you by?

When it comes down to it, there are two types of people in this world - those who do and those who don’t. Those of us who actually take the chance at whatever life throws our way, typically survive anything we set out to accomplish. It doesn’t necessarily mean we succeed right off the bat, or that we get what we want whenever we want it. It means that even if we fail at a particular task, that we don't give up. We're determined to get right back up again, into the drivers seat or into the saddle, and try again until we get the results we want. 

It’s no secret, that things in life don’t come easy. If you want something you have to earn it, you have to work hard to get it. No matter what career path you choose, you have to start somewhere and you have to work your way up from that starting point. Life is full of twists and turns, ups and downs that may leave you frustrated, it happens to the best of us. It’s about picking yourself up, and getting back out there no matter what the cost.

Starting over, finding a new job or a new career, it’s never a fun thing to have to go through. But you have to keep at it. Nothing happens overnight, it will take time. But keep at it and do it right. Don’t be afraid to take risks, sometimes the best things come from taking a chance on something even if you're not sure of what the outcome will be. 

Of course, there may be times when a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity arises, and if it’s something you really want, go for it. Don’t hesitate or wonder, “Is this really happening to me?” or “Should I really go for it?” As the infamous Nike slogan dictates, just do it. Sometimes, you have to act in the now and think later, especially if it’s something worth going for.

Remember, that along with this opportunity comes having to demonstrate that you are indeed worthy of what you have been offered - because just as easily as it was given to you, it can also be just as easily taken away.
