Q11: Significant lesson - career
What is one lesson that you've learned that has proven significant in your career?
I think the biggest lesson is that you can't be fearful. You really have to drive yourself forward without fear, because failure is not the end of the world.
When you do fail, you always are learning a valuable lesson that will lead to more success. So never have fear of trying something or doing something new.
Taking on something that you shouldn't, because those are the best opportunities for you to grow.
