- Sees problems and challenges as opportunities.
- Spirit and passion driven. Love what they do.
- Believes success is driving by yourself not others. “I am responsible for my results”.
- Critical Thinking. Negative Thinking -> Positive Thinking -> Critical Thinking. Does not let emotion get in the way.
- Take something complicated and make it simple.
- Think big.
