HIGHLIGHTS
“I hear it every day. I'm just gonna do what you did in my industry. I'm like, Well, how many markets are you in? You're in one. And you own 1% of the market, you need to take market penetration in your market plus two or three other markets.”
“The other thing is, don't listen to broke people. Because broke people are going to tell you all the reasons why something won't work. But successful people are going to say, 'Well, if you do this, this, and this, this will happen.'"
"I love helping people, I love growing people, I love watching them succeed. And I think that's one of the big keys to my success."
