Whatever happens, take responsibility! No one likes people who run from responsibility. Average leaders place blame. Exceptional leaders take it. And here is the thing. They take it because they are in charge of the environment. It is easier to give excuses or find a scapegoat.

That is what I call the right mental focus. Mustapha B Mugisa, Mr. Strategy.
How to Win
“The way we communicate with others and with ourselves ultimately determines the quality of our lives.” Frank communication is the single most tool to make you win. Tell others what you expect of them, and ask them to tell you what they expect of you. Relationships are built on trust but sustained on communication. It only hurts you to be annoyed but not letting the other person know about it, and why. You cannot fail to build great relationships and live happily with people and win.

Simplicity is gold. Anyone can make any subject complicated. The real winners are folks who simplify things. Look at how Apple made music subscription and streaming so simple. You enjoy any music and your subscription is hustles.

People want simplified things. There are so many problems that have the potential to generate money. The challenge is few people can solve the problems simply with a monetization strategy.

What is your aspiration or vision?
“Freewheeling opportunism” is used to refer to people who lack definitiveness of purpose and direction for their lives or career. When you lack a vision or life’s purpose, you are said to be someone who does not focus as you keep hopping from one thing to another. You move with easy things that may come along.
