QUOTES

 

“You have to have courage to quit . . . We're always told “never quit.” Hustle, hustle, hustle. If you're miserable, quit. We got to change things. And that's what I did. I didn't quit being an entrepreneur. I didn't quit my message. I didn't quit me. I quit the way I was approaching it. And I added a lot of complexity. But I'm so much happier.”

 

“Boundaries create and feed creativity and efficiency. We do not have boundaries. As entrepreneurs, when we're at work, we give ourselves boundaries because we do not want to be there from any second beyond earlier than nine and beyond five. Right? But as entrepreneurs, our boundaries are completely blended.”

 

“That's how our time works. That's how our decisions work. So right now, you think you're stuck in this butt situation because you got to do this. That's because you haven't defined boundaries.”

 

“We quite literally make sure and filter all of our decisions in our business through the self plan.”

 

“Just because I can doesn't mean I should.”

 

“Ease is what's allowing me to run literally five times as many companies and work half as much. Because they're all in my zone of genius . . . And they're all aligned with my message. That's why you're seeing that kind of energy change online.”

 

“Stop pushing your timelines onto other people and onto your business and onto everyone else in your life because ain't no one care. Your timelines aren't the timelines that are meant to be. If you focus on enjoying yourself, having fun, being present, defining the goals, and picking the best people to run those goals and trusting them, you're going to win.”

 

“Consistency is the name of the game. And actually, consistency trumps all. I think it trumps talent. I think it trumps money. I think it trumps network access because consistency brews all of that. If you're consistent, all of that other stuff comes. So consistency is super key.”

 

“You are responsible. You do have control. You have the most powerful weapon at your disposal right now. To build the life, the business, anything you want. And that is one word and that is choice.”
