There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?
Just focus, pray and remain determined to live for your passion. If you have a dream, it will become a vision, which will become your Reality.
As we end our chat, is there a book you can leave people with that’s been meaningful to you and your development?
The most important book to me is the Bible. Without God, where would I be, I often ask myself. God has kept me on my path even when I tried to get off. I can’t express enough: pray, write your vision down and start the action you need to do to achieve.
