On the Edge Chapter 10

Chapter 10
Your Three Words
What’s your Mantra

In this chapter,  Levine talks about the importance of a having a credo.  Though these are usually associated with companies or teams, it is also important to have a personal one as well. “We all need a set of key words that remind us how we want to behave in our professional and personal life.”  Your credo should embody what you strive to daily and your purpose.  It also helps you structure what type of leader you want to be.  

Levine’s credo is “Count on Me”

This chapter also explains how Levine became an awesome keynote ( and I talk from experience).  One thing that stood out to me is that she had to cold call bureaus to get them to give her a chance.   This is something an entrepreneur can not be scared to do.  You can not be discouraged by no’s because like Walt Disney (and Alison Levine) learned; it only takes one yes.  
it was very inspiring to hear how Levine got to where she is today. I am sad that this next chapter is the last.
