Talent means nothing without Audacity

Show notes

Lately I've been thinking a lot about this idea of "talent" and what really is the defining characteristic of success?Because I don't think its talentThere are so many successful people that I don't think are that talented, and there are some INSANELY talented people that aren't as famous as successfulWhat separates these people is AUDACITY -- the principle that an idiot in motion will always go further than a genius at rest. I think the person that wins the most is the person that tries the most -- so just keep going!!!0:00 - Intro2:50 - Release the fear of failure6:55 - Perfection is Procrastination10:10 - Getting over Rejection14:12 - Growth Requires Action#selfhelp #psychology #philosophy #videoessay #creativeproccess
