That is the biggest crap I’ve ever heard in my life. Failure does not lead to success; failure leads to failure. Learning from the failure is what leads to success. Failure is when you quit. Failing is just another lesson. If I fail, I learn my lesson, and I move on. I’m still in the game. It’s not over till I say it’s over. If I quit, then I fail. So, failing is just a lesson on the path to success. Failure is when you quit.” “A good coach has failed so many times. They can tell you what not to do.” “You can’t teach what you haven’t done.” “Understand the difference between ‘and’ & ‘or’ in a contract. That difference makes lawyers millions of dollars. If a contract says you can’t do this ‘and’ that, it means you can’t do either. But if it says you can’t do this ‘or’ that, it means you can still do one of them. One little word can change everything.” “The toughest part of coaching is people not listening, or they do half of what you say and not all of it and then blame you because it didn’t work.” “Every coach helps you get further toward your goal. But no one coach can get you all the way there.” “Success is a progression. It’s a progression of ideas and executions.” “You have to be willing to adapt in your business if you’re going to survive long term. And that involves change.” “You need to spend time learning how to be in better relationships with both the people in your family and the people you’re in business with because, at the end of the day, friends and family are all we got.” “Conflicting advice can cause confusion. And confusion leads to doing nothing … you gotta be careful who you listen to. Do not listen to too many people at the same time. It’s just not going to do you any good.” “The difference between me and you and Elon Musk is the way we think.” BOOKS MENTIONED: Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert T.
