Acknowledgments
Foreword
1. There is no I in team, or is there?
2. Have confidence in yourself, and then do what needs to be done.
3. Be happy with the reality you are in, not the dream you want.
4. Do you have vision, or are you just being a fool?
5. Peel back one layer, and stay true to yourself.
6. It’s not about how you fall; it’s about how you get up.
7. If you don’t teach yourself healthy boundaries, then someone will set them for you.
8 Do not confuse action with expectation; finish what you start.
9. Hang in there with faith and hope because you never know what tomorrow will bring!
10. If it’s worth having, it’s worth working and waiting for.
