Tangible Takeaways:

• Often when we are stuck, it’s because we’re not making a decision. It is better to decide and move forward than stay stagnant! 
• If you make a wrong decision, it’s ok! You learned something. This will make you better at your next move. 
• We get burdened with the “how”, and we forget that there is a “why”. If you're on a path and what you're participating in always goes back to the why, then you're on the right path.
• Understand what you're good and not good at, and be okay with that.
• Don't be so bogged down by the details that you're afraid to take the leap. When this happens, make sure you have just enough information, and leap.
