Self determination is very important because sometimes you aren't going to have any one pushing you or encouraging you, and you have to continuously encourage and push yourself. Educate yourself on the legal business of what you are trying to do. Surround yourself with positive people. Who applaud your successes as well as help you when you fail. Be very mindful of the image you portray and the words you speak, you have alot to do with the way people perceive you. Most importantly you have to remember that YOU are YOUR brand. You have to be willing to invest in yourself.
