Quotes:

"You are going to fall off the horse, and you need to find a way to get back on if this is truly what you wanna do."

"The Olympics occur once every four years. If you're starting a business… it's going to take four years for it to really come to flourish in, to slot in, and to start feeling comfortable and actually delivering results."

"It takes four years to do something significant."

"If you're not planning from a business standpoint, if you're not thinking four years out where you're gonna be, [then] you're not thinking long term enough, you're not thinking big enough, and you need to elevate your ability to generate vision."

"As someone who has to be at the top one percent, as someone who has to be a business leader, you can't just go year-by-year, quarter-by-quarter."

"When you set out to achieve something big and don't quite achieve it, it actually opens doors where you didn't know any doors existed. "

"It's not about the journey. It's not about the destination. It's about the journey and the destination together. It's the interplay of the two."

"The happy fail is really related to your values."

"Sometimes, a desire can actually take you over and push you towards an unhappy success or an unhappy failure."

"Materialism can be quite toxic. If that becomes your primary focus, it's really deflating."

"Once you identify which values are missing from your life, create a couple of principles around that, create habits, and cultivate those principles and habits so that you can slowly change your life's direction."

"The value should be the foundation of your mission, of what you're doing, and the vision of how you see the future and how you see your business changing the world."

Quotes:

"We need to educate children, young adults going off to college, to consider the ROI on their chosen field."

Namely accounting, medical school, nursing school, engineering, law school, that's the kind of stuff that's obviously you do have to go to college for."

"Many teachers … they're more focused on indoctrinating young people into their ideologies rather than actually teaching.

"I just think that human behavior and communication is one of the best things that you can learn."

"Human relationships, in general, were a pain point in my life … over the years, I've learned my way out of that pain. There's a book out there for anything. Seek out the resources from people who ought to know and test what you've learned out in the field, the field being everyday life."

"The best way I can describe classroom learning for languages is that it is usually incomplete."

"One of the major reasons that people struggle was because you are getting one part of the puzzle but you don't have enough to assemble it."
