Samurais are cool, but why? Is it that they wield sharp swords? No, it’s because they act cool. They act cool-headed, professional. They decide in the fraction of a second and they always get through their ways. They are zen warriors.

This should be easy, (really) yet somehow it poses a problem for many people. They seem to lack self-confidence and they feel they are not good enough. Well for some this might be true but most of them are good enough. Or would be. And this is the difference, this is the final step they need to take. They need to let go of fears, doubts and just do it (not a Nike ad, I swear). Hesitation kills the game. Make a bold, professionally based decision and go with it. Be the owner of your project right from the start to the end. Learn to decide and lower your reliance on others. Use your authority. That’s why you are here.
