People should stop invalidating their own desires and instead actively work to find ways to pursue what they want.

“I wish we all, especially as women, could just allow ourselves to want things that we want. And then instead of blocking the desire and invalidating ourselves, we remind ourselves with time and some effort, you can figure that [ __ ] out.”

Goal achievement is more likely when individuals combine written goals with specific, measurable standards and emotional alignment.

“Number one, write it down. Number two, you have to attach a standard to that goal. You must attach a standard to that goal. And most times in life, we do not get our goals. We get our standards.”

Women should unashamedly claim the things they desire and avoid apologizing for their ambitions.

“There also has to be a not do I deserve this. You deserve whatever you go after, but also don't apologize for wanting more. That's okay, too.”

Fueling one's goals through service and lifting others up is more sustainable than being driven by anger or trying to prove doubters wrong.

“what is sustainable and it's the most powerful fuel is lifting others up is proving people right lifting them up and being of service to a greater cause”

People must forgive their parents for their failures, as these shortcomings often stem from their own past traumas.

“I always try tell them I was doing it this week. I was saying you've got to forgive them for their own faults because their faults have come from some kind of trauma.”

A 'moonshot' or a long-term goal that spans many years is more valuable for sustained motivation than short-term achievements.

“Do something you think will take you 20 years. This is what the conversation we had, right? That's what you said. And I went home and I was thinking the same. I said, Nikki, I said, I love that. I love the idea of a moonshot.”
