Surround yourself with great people that share in the same passion, the same vision, and they're willing to walk on fire for you. Those are the people who will lean forward and take the shots with you.Success is 10% of what happens to you and 90% of how you react to it.Hard Work Works - There are no shortcuts, in life or in business. Get your head down, work hard, and celebrate your successes along the way!Believe In Yourself! - Every day, look in the mirror and believe in the person looking back at you.

You either win or learn.Fall Down Seven Times, Stand Up Eight -  Keep standing back up.

Whatever knocks you down, embrace it, learn from it, and keep moving forward. Your Journey Is Your Own! - Don’t measure yourself against those around you, those on social media, or those to your right and left. Instead measure yourself against who we were yesterday, and aim to improve yourself a little bit everyday!FREE EBOOKFree Digital Copy of my best selling book The 3 Alarms:https://www.ericpartaker.com/the3alarms Please rate and review my podcast here: https://ratethispodcast.com/eric
