Samuel Parker · Accepted Answer

The best advice I ever received was: Don't try to do too many things at once. Pick 1-2 things to focus on and do them really well. Multi-tasking is a myth - your brain can only effectively focus on one complex task at a time. Jumping between multiple projects prevents you from getting into deep focus and doing your best, most creative work on any of them. Simplify, prioritize, and go deep on what matters most.

Best advice? Simple: "Nobody cares, work harder."

No one’s coming to save you, no one’s going to build your business for you, and no one’s going to hand you success on a silver platter. You want it? Earn it. Every. Single. Day.

"Don't take anything personally" - this advice from Don Miguel Ruiz's book The Four Agreements really stuck with me. Most things people say or do are about them, not you. It's a powerful shift in perspective that reduces unnecessary mental suffering.
