Here are my top 10 quotes
🧵
“The truth is, you don't need experience to start. You don't need connections to contribute. What you need is the willingness to act without waiting for permission.”
“Success starts long before the opportunity arrives.”
“Success isn't about predicting what piece will come next-it's about creating a position where any piece can work.”
“When your purpose is strong enough, you stop caring what others think.”
“Kobe didn't become great by accident. He studied greatness. He reverse-engineered it. And he made it his own.”
“If you know where you're going, there's no limit to how fast you can get there-so long as you're willing to push, adapt, and keep going when it gets hard.”
“Most people wait for someone else to create opportunities. They sit back, hoping to be invited. Super connectors build the spaces where relationships happen.”
“Creation is the act of turning potential into reality. It's about taking bold action, creating opportunities, and refusing to wait for permission. Creation demands courage and relentless effort.”
“the roles we think we're waiting for often don't exist. They're not written up in job descriptions or handed out by managers. They re created by the people bold enough to see a problem and decide they re the one to solve it.”
