Quotes:

• “I wanted a different challenge, to do something that no one in my family could help me do. And often, when you do that, it scares many people around you who love you. Because you really have to figure it out on your own. When you go down a new road, you have to find your own path and find your own way.”  - Bo Heins
• “Make sure you know what you believe before you try to tell others what to believe.” - Bo Heins
• “You have to ground yourself, you have to be principled, but then you have to find a goal that you want to achieve.” - Bo Heins

Takeaways:

• It will be difficult to do something different for you and your family. Your loved ones may discourage you from taking those steps out of concern that you could fail because you must work everything out on your own. However, what matters is that you are so dedicated to pursuing your goals that you are willing to overcome all obstacles.
• People will likely ask you questions, and you must be able to answer them in a highly coherent and cognitive way. So before telling other people to believe you, it is important to make sure you understand what you're doing and why.
• When you have a short-term goal that is simple to achieve, you frequently lose sight of the bigger motivation pushing you toward your desired path. Write down your goals and keep them in mind every single day, even if they seem lofty or unattainable. It will focus your attention on the daily tasks you must complete to attain your goal.

Conclusion:

There will be so many people in your life who will have an influence on you in various ways. You're going to have challenges all the time, and people are constantly going to be coming after you. And the higher you go, the bigger target you have on your back. Therefore, you need to strengthen your attention and enhance your dedication to what you do. You have to have a get-up-and-go mentality.
