7. Find Your Voice
Finding your voice is integral to becoming successful. Blakey says it’s a sign of maturity and that since everyone has their unique perspective on the world, being able to express yourself is being able to share your viewpoint with others. Respecting opinions of others, yet sharing your own is how collaborations can create genius.
8. Think Big Picture
The big picture is key when it comes to building business. Blakey says that if you think small, you’ll stay small. To build your empire, you must create a strong foundation, beginning with surrounding yourself with like-minded people who are also willing to go the extra mile.
9. Keep Learning
Blakey believes that continued learning is crucial to achieving success. Knowledge is power, those that continue to educate themselves in their field and staying up to date with the latest information will always be a step ahead of the rest. This provides a major advantage over the competition.
10. Never Give Up
Becoming successful isn’t easy, it’s only achieved through determination and perseverance. You’ll get knocked down, not once, not twice, but potentially many times. Never give up, when things don’t go the way you planned, analyze what went wrong, find the solution and fix it. Giving up is the worst thing you can do. Blakey says it’s better to fail and try again, than quit before realizing your dreams.
