You and only you can change your life. You have the knowledge, skills, and ability to create the life you want. But first you must accept this reality and stop expending time and energy blaming the culture, technology, your boss, your organization, your significant other, your children, or your pets for your busyness.

i read a newsletter where the author discusses how $10mm was recently transferred between two ethereum addresses for 7 cents & took seconds. author rightly points to all the inefficiencies of bank transfers. also rightly points to the fact that in crypto there is no “recourse” if a mistake is made or fraud happens. BUT wrongly concludes that *banking without banks > banking with banks*. more appropriate would be *banking without banks ≠ banking with banks* given the risk profiles are vastly different. further your own risk aversion profile may make you a bank user name or a crypto/defi user. above tx cost 7 cents vs maybe max $30 in US (tad lower in EU). but it could have cost the entire amount had there been a mistake or fraud whereas the bank w/its $30 cost gives you peace of mind. #fasterpayments #crypto #ethereum #banking #banks #defi #blockchain #cryptocurrency #cryptocurrencies …see more

Though American women were "officially" granted the right vote through ratification of the 19th Amendment in August 1920, it took a quite a while longer for Black American women to fully enjoy that freedom. Some say we're still battling, thanks to voter suppression and other tactics aimed at silencing people of color. But this year, Black America must pay tribute to people like the late Emma Sanders, who squared off against some of the most vicious racists America ever produced in Mississippi to ensure that her own party did not discriminate against Black people. I know the path in my journey is paved by the sacrifices of men and women like Sanders. I'm determined her efforts won't be in vain this November. …see more

"Having a determined spirit and the courage to go after your dream when you feel doubt, or when others are telling you, “That’s not the way we do things here…” is not easy. It takes tenacity and grit to keep going after your goals when the deck appears to be stacked against you. But that is what being a Fearless Leader is all about. It is being willing to say “Why not me?” and to push yourself outside of your comfort zone." Carey Dunai Lohrenz, CSP, CPAE Hall of Fame Speaker https://lnkd.in/g-RH6Th …see more

An idea can be great, but it will never make money without the right entrepreneur behind it. On the flip side, an entrepreneur can be the most brilliant and capable person in the world but if they waste their time chasing bad opportunities or ideas, they’ll die broke. Every successful person has spent time on failures. The key is to know when to accept the fact that it IS a failure, and move on to the next thing. Learn from your mistakes, and get to work on something better. …see more
