What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received, and how has it influenced your life?
Cultivate a strong self belief and maintain a positive attitude as it will impact your performance both on and off the court. And I have kind of lived by that, and it served me well. I did play pretty good tennis, but that really was not what I was cut out to do forever. But where it really helped me was in the businesses that I owned and the work that I did. I had to develop a great deal of self confidence and believe in my own abilities and skills

It will direct me on what my next steps are, who I allowed to have access to me, how much time they have access to me, what I pursue, what I don't pursue, all of the things. Because I'm going to follow my guiding compass. I'm going to follow my inner light. This was a great Friday reflective question

You know, this is a great question, and I'm really happy to hear your answer. I have never gotten good advice. In fact, I've gotten a lot of really bad advice from really smart people. I think a lot of people tell women to not stand hand up for themselves, or don't quote, unquote, don't cause ruckus, or don't defend yourself, or there's oftentimes a Pylon in terms of, like, telling you, hey, don't take risks
And so I understand what you're saying, but hope that this discussion helps you and maybe you can get a little good advice, even if it's second hand. Thank you very much for leaving your feedback
But when we're listening in the silence, that's when we get our answers. So it sounds like your boyfriend is right on top of the mark and he's giving you good advice and you're smart enough to take it, so that's great. Anyway, thank you very much for leaving your comment. I appreciate it

So if it's something that I wouldn't eat, I wouldn't serve it to anyone else, right? If I had to call for a fresh batch of chicken, fine. You never have to worry about me getting mad at a customer and picking their food off the floor or something like that. No, never play around with a person's food. And then in later years, when I got into my career, a good part of my job as a business manager was accounts payable
You. Well, I tell you, your mother really gave you some good advice there because both with food and with money. I totally agree with your mother on that one and I'm glad that you took her advice and it sounds like it served you well. I guess in my memory, I can think of times when a friend would ask me to borrow money, and part of the time I didn't have the money, so I couldn't have given it to her anyway

You. Hi, Susanna. Becky here from visions. Expression. One of the best pieces of advice that I have been given is do not judge. And I learned this early in life, and it served me greatly. And I've never regretted putting the benefit of the doubt before a person and extending grace to give them place to stand tall in their truth beyond the authenticity of self. No pretense, no heirs, no loftiness. But a dreamer, huge dreamer, a half to dreamer
And my father told me when I was really, really young, he said, Be wise as the serpent, gentle as the dove with the heart of a lion and fat kid with low self esteem that hadn't really hit that gross bird yet. That was fine language for me, you know, I what mean some days it was the difference between me holding my head up and just or not, I wasn't sure. On. Well, I kind of sought him out, too
Very good idea. Hey, Mike, your father gave you some great advice. He sounds like he was a really wonderful man and very intelligent. And you certainly have gained by listening to that advice and putting it into practice in your life. My goodness, with all you've been through, it's just amazing that you handled yourself so well. And I just have a great admiration for you. I think that what you've done and what you've accomplished is just amazing
I mean, I guess it is a life lesson, but it's not, like, incredibly deep compared to some of the other things that have been shared. But my grandpa always told me, and then he taught this to my mom, so she's always told me, if you're going to a casino, always walk in with the amount of money you're comfortable losing and not a penny more. And I know that you might be saying, oh, that's kind of an interesting one
