3 Inspirational Lessons from Francoise Bettencourt

1. Value Your Time By Putting a Price Tag On It - Your time is the greatest resource and one thing you can’t get back. To execute at the top level, you have to understand the full gravity of time. It’s imperative to prioritize your life and business in a way that lines up with what you value most.

2. Stay Curious - “Stick to what you know” is a strict school of thought in many entrepreneurship circles. After living that for many years, I’ve come to believe just the opposite. By keeping your mind open to new ideas and embracing novelty, you make opportunities for yourself. By exposing yourself to a multitude of businesses and products, your scope expands.

3. Control Your Thoughts - Most of my lessons came from failures, setbacks, and defeats. Although painful, they developed the self-awareness to grow. Conversely, if you always have your blinders on, your perspective becomes too narrow and you miss out on promising opportunities.
