1. Follow what drives you. - Grenier says that whatever keeps you up late at night should be your direction but do not forget to balance it with work that supports your passion.

2. Learn when to say "No." - For Adrian, it is alright to say "No." Leadership according to him is not about when to say "Yes," it is about when to say "No" to every opportunity.

3. "Don't go it alone," says Adrian Grenier. It is perfectly alright to ask for help and be open to it.
