New Job: Stay Hungry, Stay Humble
Iâm officially in the 10th year of my professional career, so Iâm not here to play games. Iâm trying to tread carefully, but prove myself at the same time. For the first time in forever, Iâm working with a group of people who only care about one thing: get the job done. As I finished off my first round of meet & greets, I can tell they all have personality â thatâs the best and worst part of my job. As a project manager, my job is make sure things get done. With that said, people have to trust and like me. Iâve gotten used to this fact, so as I start this new job, i want to make sure they respect me; I want them to know that who I am, is a great person all-around. Not only am I someone you can grab coffee with, but someone you can depend on to meet the deadline.

âKnow Your Intentionsâ and more #Wordsof Wisdom from @TylerPerry
I needed these Words of Wisdom from Tyler Perry. I hope they motivate you too on the path towards reaching your dreams.
Of course, Tylerâs journey to success was no easy feat. He was homeless for a while, struggling financially, and his first play was a flop. Yet and still, he KNEW that creating plays and movies was ultimately what he was supposed to be doing. That was his foundation. Knowing that he was meant to do more ultimately kept him going. âWhat you were building had to be strong enough to support the weight of whatever you could dream,â he shared in a graduation speech. That kept him going when he was climbing the ladder to success, and still keeps him going in spite of naysayers and rough times now.
