<ul><li>"A Bawse doesn't just know what they want for Christmas, they know what they want in life."</li><li>"Be active. Make sure your body can keep up with your hustle."</li><li>"Mold your failure. The quote goes 'When one door closes, another opens'. But why didn't anyone even try opening the closed door?"</li></ul>

If one opportunity will make or break your idea of success, then your idea of success is not solid enough to begin with.

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">"When you need to get your hustle on, be driven by goals not emotions."</li><li class="ql-align-justify">"Inspiration is the fuel for your hustle. Schedule Inspiration"</li><li class="ql-align-justify">"Climb the ladder. Many situations in life require us to climb an invisible ladder. And it's usually not an easy climb. You have to earn each rung."</li><li class="ql-align-justify">"Shortcuts do not exist when it comes to success. Take the stairs."</li></ul>

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">"You have to seek out situations that make you uncomfortable and then throw yourself into them."</li><li class="ql-align-justify">"If you can do it, you don't have to say it."</li><li class="ql-align-justify">"Unleash your inner architect and design your path to success."</li></ul>

<ul><li>"Think of discomfort as currency — it's the price you pay to learn some pretty crucial things."</li><li>"Mistakes don't exist just to make us feel bad about ourselves; they are opportunities that we should not ignore or shy away from."</li><li>"You'll never truly know if you can accomplish something or be great at something if you don't commit."</li><li>"Procrastination is a hustler's worst enemy. Set deadlines."</li></ul>

<ul><li>"Don't overthink."</li><li>"Let go of FOMO."</li><li>"Eff a plan B."</li><li>"Be unapologetically yourself."</li><li>"Be Santa. Have a presence."</li><li>"Eliminate stress."</li><li>"Climb another ladder."</li></ul>

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">"If you can't control people, then control your reaction to them. If you can't control a situation prepare for it."</li><li class="ql-align-justify">"You are not a parking ticket. Do not get validated easily."</li><li class="ql-align-justify">"Say what you mean. There's always a way to be open and honest while also being respectful. Anyone who behaves otherwise is just being lazy."</li><li class="ql-align-justify">"Be the dumbest. Be smart enough to select people to work with that you can learn from."</li></ul>

<ul><li>"Be in sync. Mind, Body, Soul."</li><li>"Create an environment where Bawses thrive."</li><li>"Don't just survive conqueror."</li><li>"Don't talk crap."</li><li>"Protect your vision."</li><li>"Be nice to people."</li><li>"Don't give up before you even try."</li></ul>

You're not the biggest boss. There will always be a higher power that can throw you off the ladder at any time.

<ul><li>"Understand priorities."</li><li>"Appreciate things. Be grateful."</li><li>"Have values, not hobbies."</li><li>"Not everyone hates you."</li><li>"Make phenomenal first impressions." </li></ul>

Don't just try to pass your classes; try to ace them. Don’t just try to pay your bills, save enough to travel. I don’t want you to write a script just to see a movie get made; I want you to win the Oscar. That’s the difference between settling like a survivor and conquering like a Bawse.

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">"I want to stay in the league so I keep up to date on the game."</li><li class="ql-align-justify">"Videogames are a great analogy for life. You go through levels, get thrown off by obstacles, and face several enemies."</li><li class="ql-align-justify">"Don't give away all your secrets or reveal all your vulnerabilities... It's up to you to decide what to reveal and when"</li><li class="ql-align-justify">"Doing work eliminates the need for luck."</li></ul>

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">"PAUSE. Don't cheat yourself by blazing through life."</li><li class="ql-align-justify">"Like any relationship, the one you have with yourself takes time and effort. Love yourself."</li><li class="ql-align-justify">"Promote what you love. Promoting what you love results in seeing more of what you love in the world."</li><li class="ql-align-justify">"No piggybacks. Know the difference between supporting people and giving them a free ride."</li><li class="ql-align-justify">"You're an investment. Time, energy, money."</li><li class="ql-align-justify">"Eff protocol."</li></ul>
