OUR FAVORITE QUOTES
"Being unafraid of making mistakes makes everything easy for me. Not worrying about what people think frees you to do things, and doing things allows you to win or learn from your loss—which means you win either way. Hear me now: you are better off being wrong ten times and being right three than you are if you try only three times and always get it right."
"You just have to make the choice to actually do it. I am so tired of excuses. Why not try something new? Be optimistic, exhibit patience, shut your mouth, and execute."
"If you’re not 100 percent happy with your life today, it is never a waste of time to try something that could get you there."
"Always put your money back into your business."
