Decisions, at the end of the day, are made from two places: fear or love. If you do the work to understand where your choices come from, make sure they always come from love.

“
When you just throw the hat in; you're only failing yourself as opposed to failing anyone else. Set yourself some goals. Understand that success doesn't happen overnight. We all start somewhere, and we will all get there. We have to help each other for us all to get to where we want to be.”

“The one thing I'm most proud of is smashing through my comfort zone and reinventing myself time and time again. I'm very much an introvert, and I still pinch myself when I think of how I've had to embrace being in the spotlight in order to reach and help others when my natural comfort zone is in the side-lines helping others to shine.”

Eoin Costello
Project Director at DigitalHQ clg
Incubation, Networking & Training
I'm the Project Director of a not-for-profit co-working space in Dún Laoghaire called Digital HQ.
And what's different about our space is we call it as a digital growth hub because all our activities are focused outwards into a small business community of the town so any income we get from membership fees, the co-working space go back into digitally-enabling local small businesses and also the town's website.
“We unconsciously hold ourselves back because we don't take the time to understand and appreciate what makes us who we are, but once we learn that we are all fallible and that's ok, life opens up in a completely different spectrum.”

“
Go away. That's my advice. Pick a part of the world that interests you and start finding work there.
Maybe that's doing things virtually in the short term, but make a plan to go away and get experience in a foreign market. I've never ever met anyone who has regretted studying or working overseas.
