Show Notes:

If something is going to be successful, it requires total commitment.

You have to be committed before you have the capability. And that requires courage.

Corporate America, as most people experience it, is not for entrepreneurs.

Entrepreneurism means that you're using your own Unique Ability^® to create Unique Teamwork that produces really unusual value.

It's important to be okay with not having all the answers.

It’s okay if something you try out doesn’t work. Keep trying.

Finance isn’t a compliance; it's something entrepreneurs or business owners can use as a strategic asset in their business to grow and transform.

You can pass on wealth to your kids, but passing on the right mindset is more important because then they can retain the wealth or even build their own.

It’s important to have time to turn off.

Being in a safe space with supportive, encouraging, like-minded individuals really gives you more confidence.

As you keep using a Strategic Coach thinking tool, it gets easier and easier.
