1. Prioritize your time and energy like a Lion
Be like a lion, careful about where you spend your energy. A lion conserves his energy for the most important tasks and goals. Don't waste time on distractions, instead pounce on opportunities that align with your purpose. Learn when to be patient & say 'no' and when to hit hard and take swift action.
2. Build a strong pack aka team – like Wolves
Wolves thrive in packs, relying on each other's strength to hunt, protect, and survive. Similarly, surround yourself with a team of talented, motivated individuals, who share your vision, backed by the finest communication skills & teamwork. Invest in their growth and development, and let each member play a unique role, supporting each other & amplifying success. If you are a wildlife enthusiast & a founder too, then this article can be right on point for you, "Building Teams? Be like a Wolf Pack..."
3. Think long-term like an Elephant
Not only do Elephants have a long life-span but they think the long way too. They are thoughtful, wise animals that travel great distances, always keeping the bigger picture in mind. Thus, when immediate challenges occur, keep the broader perspective in mind and just as elephants plan their movements over vast landscapes, you too should chart a course for your future and stay focused, no matter how long it takes to get there. So, if you want your venture to have a long life-span, you need to have a long-term vision too.
