If you can see it, you can attain it

Robert Cornish

I've always visualized my goals. I can see them. I have to be able to see them first and then visualize how to attain them and then plan it out and then execute. 20 years after reading the book Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, I decided to listen to the audiobook because it's a classic and I figured it would be a good refresh.

Yes, I would have dropped out

Knowing what I know now, yes, I would have dropped out. But I always encourage people to be lifelong students. I’m always learning.

For whatever reason, I've always been highly observant of things and always paid close attention to brands and branding.

Homeostasis of mediocrity

Homeostasis is the state of a normal condition where the body settles into the same thing. That could be an aggressive workout program or being a complete couch potato — makes no difference to the body, just that it’s the same, and that's the normal condition.

Nearly all problems are connected to training

The greats are always originals

I think today, and perhaps always, we tend to compare ourselves. I suppose it’s natural, a competitive spirit inside us but it’s important to cut against it. Break the cycle. Because if you look and really pay attention, the greats are all originals.
