Anna’S ADVICE –

Don’t be afraid of “no’s”. No doesn’t mean “never” it just means “not yet”. When you really want something, keep trying and do things that will lead you to where you want to be. Look at the big picture, you may work for a long time but do not lose sight of your dream and remember the journey is where you need to keep focused on your dream.
