“Great works are performed, not by strength, but by perseverance.” — Samuel Johnson
David was always fascinated with sound, music and technology as a child. It was no surprise then that he studied sound engineering in school and now owns his own recording studio in his home city of London, Canada.
Setting boundaries
Part of his own growth mindset development entails being able to set the context for working with his partner who is now his wife. Having been able to set boundaries, communicating who he is when he is having a conversation. For example, he informs whether he is communicating as a husband or business partner.
Successful people think about their mental fortitude as much as their physical body and intellect. David implores us to listen to our bodies, find what we love doing and put your body in a position to feel good.
Whatever decision you need to make, think about it in 10-10-10. That is, what is the impact of your decision in 10 minutes, 10 months and 10 years from now. Good decision should be sustainable over all these time frame.
David concludes that passion and resiliency are the most necessary traits for success and growth.
