Our success is not in our comfort zone. It is where we feel uncomfortable. where we know we ought to be, but we struggle in, that holds our destiny.

Don’t run from your Goliaths. No matter how big that problem may be, your greatness and destiny actually lie in solving it. Solve your own issue, and develop ways how you can channel that solution to help others. To this end, vision, products, systems, consistency, marketing and visibility are vital.
