TENETS OF SELF-RELIANCE THAT PAY OFF IN ERAS IF RPAID CHANGE

  • Own your skills, experience and work: each individual is an enterprise whether they are aware of it or not.
  • Learn from others: ask, observe, analyze--how did they get it done?
  • Being part of a Productive Network means you're not alone: you help others with their livelihood, they help you with your livelihood.
  • Frugality leverages your work / income into capital you can invest in yourself. Virtually every success story is built on frugality, savings and investing.
  • Failure goes hand in hand with taking risks. Risk is intrinsic to enterprise. We learn the most from failures, and tend to learn "the wrong lessons" from early success (i.e. I'm a genius, success is easy, etc.).
  • Limit risks to those you can afford to lose. Avoid taking on multiple big risks all at the same time.
