My biggest takeaway is that if you don’t have a sense of direction, you spend most of your time doing nothing. This while waiting for something to react to.

[devmamba]

proactive is more than just taking initiative without being told. I wished you had explained more about focusing on things you can control and not worrying too much about things you don't have much influence on.

Consistency is much more important for winning in the long run than getting everything right! Awesome work!

My takeaway from this video is that you should not allow your environment to dictate your destination. Make a plan and stick to it regardless of whatever happen.

The biggest takeaway from this video was to take initiative and also think the likely consequences that could happen in future and plan to deal or react to it in our circle of influence that is things that are in our control

Good topic brother. Maybe I should do a video on this topic as well and call it Emotional Fortitude. Keep grinding!

Good informative video I learnt that I need to plan and if I don’t I’m planning to fail and also I need to make a to do list and follow up on it and keep myself accountable and no one solve my problems for me I have to take initiative

I'm working on this right now. Trying to "get ahead of the game"

My biggest takeaway is that I will wait until the right time comes, because I'm afraid and want to do it perfectly. While it only wasting my time and not learning something new.

My takeaway is to be proactive you should plan ahead, set smart goals, be self-accountable and be consistent.
