Leaders are known to affect and impact others in one way or another. Sadly, many people wait for an opportunity or an open door to step up and be in a position of influence without them realizing that the most influential people didn’t just wait for an opportunity. Instead, they created one.
On today’s episode, I’m sharing the lessons I have learned from the boxing legend Floyd Mayweather as a high profile businessman who took the initiative to create and control his own platform, and the link between his success to the ideals of the world-renowned author, Virginia Woolf.
