Don’t judge yourself or compare yourself to other people. Instead just compare yourself to who you were yesterday. Be compassionate with yourself, be gentle with yourself. As high performers I think one of the biggest things is probably one of the biggest challenges is being loving with our self.

We are all in that situation where we don’t know what we don’t know. But go to your local resources and find out what they offer. There is so many diamonds out there, there are so many things out there that are available to entrepreneurs in almost every community.
