Book Byte #145 "Career Confidence" by Robynn Storey
No-BS Stories and Strategies for Finding Your Power
📣 Curious Quote from the Author
“I am also a gambler in life. Willing to take a chance, throw caution to the wind, bet on myself and others. Sometimes you win; sometimes you lose. I find that the most successful people do not focus on money. Sure, that's ultimately the end goal for many people, but for most entrepreneurs, me included, it is the thrill of the game.
The people willing to gamble, quit their jobs to do something new, take a job that is beyond their current capabilities, or start a business with no idea of how they will pay the mortgage, often become the most successful people.
They are the hustlers.
They trade in passion.
And sometimes they beat the house.”
