In
this powerful interview for my Sirius XM radio show, Dr. Davis shares:
- There
will be “glass ceilings” and “sticky floors” in business, but those who refuse
to give up can overcome both.
- In
order to succeed in life and business, you must be willing to “go through” in
order to get to your goal. Do not be intimidated by the obstacles.
- Learn
to talk to yourself. Talk yourself into courage, confidence and commitment and
you will win more.
- Building
your network has power. Relationships are the new currency.
- Be
willing to take risks. Try new things. Don’t just stay stuck on door #1; try
door #2, then #3. And keep going if necessary.
- Learn
the ways of wealth. One important way to wealth is multiple streams of
income.
- Being
alive is one thing; but it’s a whole different story to really live.
- Most
people say they would live their life over if they had the chance, but Dr.
Shirley Davis says, "Live your life now so that you will have no
regrets."
