When I wanted to be a DJ on the radio, I was told I didn’t have a radio voice. But I did it anyway.
When I wanted to try stand-up, I was told I wasn’t funny enough to go on stage. But I did it anyway.
When I wanted an MBA, I was told I wouldn’t be accepted into the program. But I did it anyway.
When I wanted to change careers, I was told I didn’t have the experience. But I did it anyway.
When I wanted to start a coffee business, I was told I’d never be successful. But I did it anyway.

Who told me I was unqualified? I did.

Do it anyway.
