5 Powerful Quotes from the Episode
“I had no skills, I had no title, I had no education. So I couldn't rely on this. I basically had to go and claim to be something or someone and just prove that I am it.”
“The skill he was teaching them was situational awareness. Like you can’t just be a solo player in the pool amongst other players. You have to be there and you realize you’re part of the entire pool. So even though you’re swimming with a ball, you've got to be aware where the rest of your teammates are, where the opponent is. So you've got to be aware of the entire pool. Because if you don't, you're gonna get crushed, you're gonna get you know, your balls gonna be taken away from you, you're gonna be blocked, you've got to be aware of the whole thing.”
“I believe that whatever we undertake, 95% of the foundation that decides whether or not we will succeed or fail is our thinking.
“When I want to get something done, I'm looking at who is already doing it successfully, that I know that I can get proof that it's done, that they're doing it ten times better than I am, and reaching out and say look, you know, how you're doing this or here's what I'm doing, how can I infuse some of what you've learned into what I'm doing to expedite the results.
“And one thing that people don't realize, (is) that the price that you get to charge for what you do has less to do with you, your methodology, the quality of what you do, and nearly everything to do with the prospective clients, potential for gains.”
