NOTABLE QUOTES:
“What most women want more than anything else is to connect with their men on a heart level. That’s about emotions and feelings, two things men are scared to death because they’re not used to talking about them.”
“Getting something is easy. Anybody can get something. Sustaining it is a different level of character. Multiplying is another different level of character.”
“We have to learn how to nourish the relationship, nourish the person, the partnership. And it takes consistency.”
“The reason why men won’t talk about their feelings is because they’re afraid of being judged. And the worst thing you can do is judge a man when he finally does open up.”
“If you want your man to open up, you’ve got to create a safe space. You’ve got to be the safest place on earth for him.”
“Being present, showing up with an open heart, and just being available for the people around you is the greatest gift you can give.”

“The brain is looking for things more complicated, or to make things more complicated, but the body is just the opposite. The body wants the path of least resistance.”
“We just repeat. We remember our bodies repeating what it remembers. And so you need to give it new memories every single day if we want something to shift.”
“A lot of our suffering that’s really unnecessary is from repeating the familiar.”
“Are we renewing every single day? Or are we just repeating what’s familiar?”

NOTABLE QUOTES: 
“You got to fail to succeed. That is the biggest crap I’ve ever heard in my life. Failure does not lead to success; failure leads to failure. Learning from the failure is what leads to success. Failure is when you quit. Failing is just another lesson. If I fail, I learn my lesson, and I move on. I’m still in the game. It’s not over till I say it’s over. If I quit, then I fail. So, failing is just a lesson on the path to success. Failure is when you quit.”
“A good coach has failed so many times. They can tell you what not to do.”
“You can’t teach what you haven’t done.”
“Understand the difference between ‘and’ & ‘or’ in a contract. That difference makes lawyers millions of dollars. If a contract says you can’t do this ‘and’ that, it means you can’t do either. But if it says you can’t do this ‘or’ that, it means you can still do one of them. One little word can change everything.”
“The toughest part of coaching is people not listening, or they do half of what you say and not all of it and then blame you because it didn’t work.”
“Every coach helps you get further toward your goal. But no one coach can get you all the way there.”
“Success is a progression. It’s a progression of ideas and executions.”
“You have to be willing to adapt in your business if you’re going to survive long term. And that involves change.”
“You need to spend time learning how to be in better relationships with both the people in your family and the people you’re in business with because, at the end of the day, friends and family are all we got.”
“Conflicting advice can cause confusion. And confusion leads to doing nothing … you gotta be careful who you listen to. Do not listen to too many people at the same time. It’s just not going to do you any good.”
“The difference between me and you and Elon Musk is the way we think.”

NOTABLE QUOTES: 
“When everything is wrong in your life, and the world is falling apart, you just move forward. You don't quit, and you keep going.”
“One of the greatest secrets of success is writing your goals down.”
“People need to hear the story... You have a story; somebody needs to hear it. Somebody relates to that story. And if you can help them in some way, then you should do that.”
“The very thing that we're afraid of, that vulnerability, is the one thing that's going to connect us to other people.”
“Your trauma is not what’s responsible for your success in life... It's what you learn in how to deal with trauma that will propel you forward.”
“If you want to be the absolute best you can be in business, it's all about relationships.”
“If you can get the help you need and channel your trauma and pain, you can do things that most people won’t do and have things that most people won’t have.”
“You need to talk to somebody who is 10 to 20 steps ahead of you in business. That’s called coaching, and it can tell you what to do and what not to do.”
“If you are ever truly going to be happy in life, you need to do two things. You need to find something you’re passionate about and chase that. And you need to find a way to give back to the world some of what the world gave you. Otherwise, you spend the rest of your life chasing money, and that’s not going to make you happy.”

NOTABLE QUOTES: 
“We as men know how to pursue. But there’s something that happens to us, it is like a little switch in the back of our heads that turns off as soon as we get her, i.e. the wedding day. There’s something that happened and we stop pursuing.”
“You’ve got to continue to date your wife, you have to, and you have to determine what the frequency is for you as a couple... Everything else you do is built around that. It’s that important.”
“What she cares about more than anything else is the time spent together and sharing what’s going on with us on the inside.”
“Men, those of you that are married, if you make the kids the number one priority in your life while you’re married, you’re not going to have a marriage to go back to when they’re gone.”
“It doesn’t take a lot, lot to stay connected.”
“If you want to write and take that step with your personal growth, that’s how you do it. You just take a step. It could be a half step, it could be inches, but take it and then let it grow and grow and nurture it.”
“What people are really looking for is to learn your character ... It’s really the interaction with your characters that readers are more interested in.”
“Let’s break down the walls and just make sure we’re using the right people for the right things, regardless of their challenge in one way or another.”
“The number one thing I focus on with being around with my wife is being present.”
“Leadership for me is about getting people interested, excited, aligned with the vision.”

NOTABLE QUOTES:
“To adapt, you’ve got to be open to change, to the transition.”
“The ability to be adaptable, the ability to create relationships, and the ability to adapt and overcome are essential traits to success in any endeavor.”
“I’ve learned that success comes from being open to change, adapting to new situations, and continuously learning and growing.”
“The ability to be adaptable, the ability to create relationships, and then continue those relationships, not just transactional, but meaningful, is so important.”
“You don’t have to have your life figured out when you’re 18. But taking steps, moving forward... you’re 18, 19, you don’t like it? Okay, hold back, reassess, and head off again. You’ve got a lot of runway.”
“You don’t have to write a whole book. Start with a blog. People are interested in other people. And if you’re bringing forward heartfelt writing, you can start by actually responding to other bloggers that you follow and think are interesting. Build your confidence up by responding and then actually start one yourself.”
“Sometimes, people just need a little bit of a process, a little bit of a step, something to help them step into the process. And then they can start to deconstruct.”
