To this day, even when I hear about problems, as you've probably noticed, I tend to call them challenges. I don't dwell on them, and I immediately focus on how I can convert the challenge into an opportunity.

I was working as hard as a human being could work. That tempo hasn't changed. I just have more diversity and more companies, and now I've got 33 companies so my dance card is full. Four kids and three grandkids, but I love that passionate lifestyle. I love constantly growing, I love seeing and feeling that you can have an impact. And gradually it went from just coaching to actually running businesses because I've had experiences that were life changing.

See it as it is, not worse than it is just so you have a reason not to try.

I'm a strategist, not a motivator. I'm obsessed with finding strategies that create real results in the shortest period of time.

Proximity is power. If you can get proximity with people that are the best in the world, things can happen because all of the people they know, the insights they have and the life experience they have. They can save you a decade of time by one insight.

Knowledge is NOT power. Knowledge is only POTENTIAL power. Action is power.

Remember, it's not conditions but decisions that determine our lives.
