Key quotes and lessons shared by Dan Lok:
“Don't spend the money, put the money aside because no business will always grow. It's always ups and down. So when the times get tough, if you have the money put aside now, when your business needs that money, you can save the business.”
“A high income skill is a skill that you develop through programs or courses to make you money. Then once you build those skill, you have a scalable business.”
“As an entrepreneur, you need to convert that revenue into investments. So you can spend the profit from the investments to buy the fancy car, buy the fancy house, but don't neglect the revenue.”
