The others are actually bad pieces of advice.

Clothes, hairstyle, music and other things do not make a succesful person.
Confidence comes through accepting who you are as a person and doing
the things that make you happy.
If you define success as being a millionaire, that’s okay. However, I define success as achievement of your personal goals and in achievements in fields you have a passion for, no matter the paycheck. I have a passion for education, and I define
my success as how effectively I have educated and the change I have made in these peoples lives. My paycheck is just the way I pay for food and bills.

Surround your self with people who push your thoughts to new boundaries,
people who love and care for who you are as a person. People who are successful in the same field you wish to be may not be the people who motivate you
to achieve. However, compitition among the people whos success you admire can
motivate you.

Fear is not to be used as motivation, but to be transformed into curiosity
and goals. You cannot go through life life filled with anxiety of what you do
not want to be, instead think of why you fear these outcomes and what you do
that will cause these outcomes. Once you know what you fear and know how
to avoid it, it will not be fear any longer.

Thanks for including my events in that mix!

Andrew Warner’s last blog post..7 Ways To “Hack” Yourself Into Conferences For Free

I agree that it is better to be an implementer and take action, rather than just sit on the sidelines and just think strategy all day; however, this post is not about that.

This post is about thinking for yourself, rather than doing what you’re told.

Charisma is good, but authenticity is much more important than any cheesy smile.

The theory sounds right, but the categories seem off - I mean for both “thinker-doer” and “leader-follower.”

When I first got into the post, I thought to myself: “I’d rather be a ‘doer’ than a ‘thinker.’ Doing (even when you have incomplete information and make mistakes) is better than just thinking. Thinking is passive.” After I finished the post, however, your train of thought was much clearer.

The truest moment was what you said about authenticity versus charisma. It took me a long time to learn this lesson (in my personal life) and when you believe it and live it to your core, I think it causes dramatically positive changes in your life.

I wouldn’t necessary call him a “follower,” but he definitely doesn’t like the uncertain and risky.

It’s interesting that you categorize people as thinkers and doers– they sound like leaders and followers to me. Thinkers certainly will make better leaders…
