In season one episode seven, Miguel Lebron answers the question "How do you become a Skyscraper?"

A Skyscraper is always in the clouds. You've probably heard someone say “get your head out of the clouds” for a Skyscraper, that's where they belong. The view point is much different, you see the clouds but also what's past them. Whereas others, can only see the conflict out issue before them. A Skyscraper can see past the mountain of adversity whereas others, can't even fathom there's more on the other side.

How do you become a Skyscraper?
#1. Location, location, location:
Know the location you're in so that you may best serve those in that location. Also, know the location you're heading towards so that you may plan for possible roadblocks. (Foresight)

#2. Solid foundation.
A building is only as strong as its support. Surround yourself with people that will nourish your vision. A weak foundation will bring forth frustration and inconsistency. In fact, it will become a wheel were inconsistency brings forth insecurities which give birth to frustration. The Skyscraper (that could have been) will stay at ground level.

#3. Investors.
Investors are not just those that financially support the mission. The greatest currency we all have access to is time. Some invest their time weight and others miss manage it, becoming bankrupt emotionally in the process. When you have good investors, they will deposit in you something that is much more valuable than gold.

#4. Time:
Burj Khalifa (the current tallest building in the world) took 5 years to build. This takes time. To become a Skyscraper you must understand that there will be growing pains. It will require the support of many and time is of the essence. It's the greatest currency we have, let's be good stewards of it and respect the process.

#5. Vision.
Your vision has to be so big it scares people! They'd either be scared to lose an opportunity to be a part of something so big or scared to take on the challenge. A vision is just that, something you see. To become Skyscraper you've got to have your head in the clouds and see what no one else is seeing.

Bonus Tip:
Have a working compass in this journey. Your compass is your morals, the things you stand for. As Malcolm X once said “if you stand for something, you'll fall for anything”. The biggest things that has caused the ruins of many Skyscrapers is that they forgot their North.
