Show notes
 
  • Doing things that you don't want to do is critical to reaching the next level.
  • If you look at it as hard work, this may not be the industry for you.
  • Most people see everything they have to do ahead and then don't start.
  • Sometimes things only appear to be overwhelming.
  • If there's a chore that needs to be done, there's probably 10 steps to get it done - break it down by crossing the little steps off the list.
  • Turn the smaller steps into something fun.
  • You can't be afraid of failure - you have to put yourself out there. 
  • Take risks, but don't eliminate a safety plan unless the risk is well worth it.
  • Do it - take smaller risks in order to take bigger risks.  
  • Nothing's going to happen with minimal effort.
  • If millionaires say the same thing, it's probably true.
