[[:encoded, "Rarely is anything an overnight success. It can take years of hard work before it pays off, and that can be a hard truth to accept. But there are tips and tricks, or habits really, that you can implement into your daily life to pave the way to a successful future for you and your company.\n\nThese tricks, that I’m about to share, are a mix of productivity hacks as well as personal life hacks to help you perform at your best and build an extraordinary legacy.
