Unapologetically Three-Dimensional
Achievers, Not Credit Seekers
Each of Us Inspires All of Us.
We Work for Each Other, Not for Ourselves.
Uncharted Territory Is Our Playground.
C H A N G E I S :
Scary, Uncomfortable,
Uncertainty, Feared,
Wait and See, Skeptical,
Inevitable
C H A N G E I S :
Welcomed, Guaranteed,
Embraced, Rallying,
Improvement, Opportunity,
Growth
Hustle is the dark horse of creativity, the close
cousin of grit and tenacity.
Without the hustle, drive, and complete
devotion to make things happen, you are
average.
