SOME THINGS TO REFLECT ON
In this interview, a lot of jewels of self-improvement are discussed. Some of these and their associated thoughts include:
- “Someone had to do it” – what are you putting off in your life? What would happen if you just did it and worked your ass off to complete them, how would it change you?
- “Just because you have a supply, it doesn’t mean there will be a demand.” You still need to do your analysis and work, if it was easy, everyone would be making a fortune out of it.
- Every day you need to put in the work, step to step, to the next step. Every day, do the work and achieve what needs to be done then go to the next day. Business isn’t easy but if you put in the work then it is possible for anyone to make it in business.
- When Nick went all in on his business, he saw things really pay off. Don’t half ass things, work your ass on and you will see rewards.
- You are not entitled to anything. You decide how to spend your time. Make sure it is on your priorities, not someone else’s or what you think others want you to do.
- Action isn’t enough. One action will not cause success. However, constant action will build up to a critical mass and cause success to erupt.
- Do you know what 100% truly feels like?
- You have the potential to do so much more than you will ever believe about yourself.
- Reduce absorbing and increase creation. Stop just accumulating info, create more. Creation will get you moving towards success. Absorption can fill you up and prevent space to create.
- Should pineapple go on pizza?!
