Guiding Quote to Success
“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit” – Aristotle
First Step of the Journey
Alex’s journey began with a decision – a decision to get his finances together. By asking himself, “what must I do”, learning to bridge gaps in what he knows, and taking action, Alex began taking the steps that have set him on an amazing journey.
Roadblock on the Journey
Alex firmly believes that there are no failures – there are only experiments.
This mindset became really important as Alex faced an office bully and difficult times in his professional career.
