I’ve got a powerful idea I want to share...a tweet that really hit home for me. Here's the deal: If you try and fail, people will mock you. If you try and succeed, they’ll tear you down. But if you don’t try at all? You’ll be nothing. We’re all here to do something extraordinary, and that means stepping out of the ordinary. So, don’t hold back. Embrace the fear, go for greatness, and remember...those you look up to didn’t quit. Neither should you. LEAVE A REVIEW if you liked this episode!! ...
