"The most important thing is to get rid of doubt. If you got doubt in what you’re doing, it’s not gonna work. You know what I mean? And the way to do that is you have a plan. Because if you got a plan, it’s not like just a pipe dream. You have a step-by-step list of things to do to get to your goal. If you don’t have that, it’s very hard to really have faith in what you’re doing because as soon as something pops up, it’s gonna look like the end-all."
-Nipsey Hussle
