We recently connected with Don B and have shared our conversation below.
Don, thanks so much for taking the time to share your insights and lessons with us today. We’re particularly interested in hearing about how you became such a resilient person. Where do you get your resilience from?
I get my resilience from my mother. I seen her struggle when I was younger, and she never stopped going. I witnessed her work 3 jobs and go to school just for me and my brother. The strength I seen in her I now have in me and that’s why no matter what I do or go through. I look back and I see us travelling to and from on the bus because she didn’t have a car. I see the days when Christmas couldn’t happen. We all understood and kept going . That’s how I approach life’s challenges. Every single day
If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
Reflecting on my journey, adaptability, continuous learning, and effective communication have been pivotal. In the ever-evolving landscape, adaptability enables one to navigate change seamlessly. Continuous learning ensures staying relevant and innovative. Effective communication is the bridge to connect ideas and build meaningful relationships.
For those starting their journey, my advice is to embrace change with an open mind, cultivate a habit of lifelong learning, and refine communication skills. Networking and seeking mentors can provide valuable insights. Remember, growth often comes from stepping out of comfort zones and embracing challenges as opportunities for learning and improvement.
Thanks so much for sharing all these insights with us today. Before we go, is there a book that’s played in important role in your development?
Robert Greene’s daily laws have been my compass on this journey. The principles of strategy, mastery, and understanding human dynamics have shaped my approach. Embracing the laws of power, I’ve navigated challenges with finesse, while the laws of nature have grounded me in the pursuit of mastery. Understanding the depths of human behavior, as outlined by Greene, has enhanced my interpersonal skills.
For those starting their journey, I recommend delving into Greene’s wisdom. Applying these laws strategically can illuminate the path to success, providing insights into the intricate dance of power, knowledge, and human dynamics in the pursuit of one’s goals.
