Nice Post ! I try to keep it simple and work further, but sometimes hurdles do get you and some times you tend loose the steam or focus. It happens to me sometimes, have to get my act together and get the ball rolling. Time does not stop for anyone, once gone its gone for ever ! 🙂 nice pointers in the post, thanks.
Hi, thanks for your comments. Welcome.
I couldn’t agree more with your list. I have never understood why people aren’t transparent with information. I get some of my best ideas when I verbally share my plans. Speaking them out loud helps me think through things in a different way.
True, thanks for your comments. How I wish people could realize the importance of sharing information could in fact help them achieve more.
This is a valuable list. I particularly find the accepting responsibility for mistakes to be a trait that moves someone to success. If you can’t accept responsibility for making mistakes you can’t learn and improve.

Sharing information really stood out to me, since I know a lot of folks who hide what they know because they’ve been burned one way or another in the past. But if we purposely hide, we can create a lot of tension with others and stunt what we’re doing! This is a great list <3
