1. Find something that you like to do and do it. Don’t worry about being judged by your peers or family. Your number 1 goal in this lifetime is to spend time doing the things you love to do.
2. Life is too short — Don’t make it one full of regrets.
3. You can work your way through it with a little motivation. Stop hindering yourself thinking that you cannot do it. You can. So learn how to be your own cheerleader.
4. Find someone to shadow: rather its being someone assistant, or needing to find a coach or a mentor. The quickest way to achieving a goal is to find someone who has already done it. Learn from them and use it to carve out your own path.
5. Show what you learnt using social media. We are in the digital age and it’s consistently growing. Use it to your advantage. If you don’t see what you are looking for, be the first one to define what that is. You’ll be surprised at the amount of people looking for the same answer.
6. Push yourself to read more on personal development. It can really change your life.
7. Anything you want to learn has to be learnt over the course of time. There are no shortcuts.
