2. Think outside of the box

There’s a reason this phrase exists. Creative thinking is what can help you form a strategy in business that actually works, rather than relying on the same old approach.

3. This is your moment

What does it mean to say this is your moment? For starters, both you and Mark Zuckerberg or Elon Musk have exactly 60 seconds to spend in a minute. You are equals. Make the most of the time you have.

4. The issue you are facing is not insurmountable

Most of us don’t face the challenge of how to get to Mars and back or invent a new mode of transportation. The challenge you are facing today is likely not as insurmountable as you think it is, especially in comparison to other tasks.

5. You are surrounded by a smart team to help you achieve great success

Look around you. Make sure you take account of your employees and co-workers and the skills they offer, because they can help you press ahead and succeed.

6. Dig hard, and you will find the right answer

7. You are the only person with your exact blend of talents and skills
