The Main Event

What does Chris mean by ‘moderately’?

1 – Own your success

Define what it is and when you will achieve it

2 – Say ‘yes’ to everything

For a period of time, give it attention to see if you like it.

3 – Take a nap

4 – Don’t have a plan!

Sometimes, going with the flow can be liberating. If all your time is planned, you will not be able to look at something interesting that pops up.

5 – Be a problem finder

6 – Be lucky!

Remember the role luck plays in success

7 – Don’t have BIG goals

8 – Celebrate the boring

9 – Don’t believe all you hear

10 – Always follow your passion . . . or don’t!
