Visiting New York City is a great way to get inspired and motivated to continue working on your goals. Staying in the city completely redefined my sense of scale, especially since I come from a small city like Reykjavik. There are about 8.4 million people living in New York versus just about 160 thousand in Reykjavik, and the tallest building in New York is the now under construction One World Trade Center standing at 541 meters (1,776 feet) versus the tallest building in Iceland, which is Smáratorg Tower standing at 78 meters (256 feet). People often tell me that I have to think big, but I am not sure if I have the ability to think big enough for places like New York. The scale is just completely different from what I am used to. But I am looking forward to improving my sense of scale and thinking bigger.
While I have been here, I have been able to meet up with some entrepreneurs that have achieved what I dream about, mainly creating successful and profitable businesses. For those of you that have started your own businesses, you probably know the feeling when you have been working so long on trying to build something that you almost start doubting that you will ever make it successful. That is when it is so important to meet up with people that have achieved their goals. So meeting up with these entrepreneurs really inspired me to continue working on my business and striving towards my goals. It reignited my belief that my goals are achievable.
And to pay it forward I am going to tell you, dear reader, that:
Success is achievable, you just have to work hard and believe.
