Tune in to this week’s Million Dollar Monday to hear more.

Key Takeaways:

  • Even if you know where you think you are going to go, sometimes the path takes you in a different direction.
  • It was also a lesson to realize at a very young age that although it was good money and I had no passion for it, there was a tremendous conflict there.
  • If they can't see themselves doing what you aspire and they don't want to encourage it because it's almost like they don't see the roadmap that you see. And that's what makes us as entrepreneurs so different. We have this vision, we might not have the roadmap completely drawn out, but we have a very succinct vision. We know where we want to end up.
  •  The key message here where we definitely want to share with the viewers is that I was a student of the industry. I went to any conference I can get my hands on everything from, private sports, complex owners, conferences, business conferences, college, intramural sports conferences, anything. I just wanted to soak everything up and truly be a student of the amateur sports industry. 
  • Even though I had my system it was not refined at all. We were learning as we go. One of the keys to success that I share with people all the time is the ability to pivot. Don't be afraid to make a mistake, but, when you make a mistake, fix it and move on. Don't make the same mistake. 2, 3, 4 times.
  • "Success without fulfillment is ultimate failure." - Tony Robbins
