Description

You've got to be in it to win it and you've got to be in it to affect change. Herman is joined by a leader, member of the social-economic task force and chair of independent education, Stephanie Boyce. Together they discuss how to achieve your goals whilst remaining your authentic self, why you need to use failure as a lesson and how to utilise the law of attraction. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• You're not limited by your backstory. You're not limited by what you've gone through. You are only limited by what you believe in your ability to achieve. 

• It’s important to remain your authentic self throughout your journey and not conform to fit in. 

• You’ve got to be in it to win it and you've got to be in it to affect change. To succeed you need to understand your areas of influence and that you’re impacting change is clear, that you’re pragmatic it's clear that you're proactive in achieving your goals. 

• Do not look at failure with a negative connotation to it. Subscribe to the law of attraction and to positive thinking because often in life it’s mind over matter and your attitude will determine your outcome because if you can believe it, you can achieve it. 

• A lot of times the difficulties or the challenges you face are mental and they're emotional. You need to break free from the past and your limiting beliefs because there’s nothing wrong with where you came from. 

• When we achieve, there are usually celebrators and there are detractors. There will always be naysayers, there'll be people who will celebrate you and there will be people who won't celebrate you. It’s part of the walk of life.
