It really exacerbates, and it’s quite the opposite. Zeros on your income or your wealth don’t eliminate problems. It usually precipitates it.” “You can’t appreciate others until you appreciate yourself.” “You don’t play the game for anyone else, but you play it to benefit everyone else. You don’t need to win the love or admiration of the world. You need to feel great about who you are doing it for.” “Wealth creation should only be the reward for the quantity, quality, consistency of problems you are able to solve for others and opportunities you’re able to make possible.” “As a leader, entrepreneur, manager, or CEO, you have the responsibility to either grow your people, business, product service lines, or you diminish it. “If you change your strategy, you change your results. Tactics alone are not gonna change your result.” “No two people are ever having the same conversion because no two people ever had the very same experience.” “If you wish to move people to action, you have to understand what they value.”   Ways to Subscribe to Redefining The Top One Percent:   Apple Podcast Stitcher PlayerFM Spotify
