Top 3 Value Bombs:
1. Look at failure more as a learning exercise, and that perspective shift unlocks everything. You go at it long enough and you fail nine times, that tenth time, you're going to probably find the one thing that's going to work.
2. You could pretty much build anything with code. The matrix is real. There's creators and there's consumers and you can choose which side of the spectrum you want to be on the matrix.
3. All the founders, every single one of them goes into a room not thinking that they're the smartest person. Ego has to be stripped away. Their eagerness and willingness to learn from others to hire people that are smarter than them, that is that's another key component to it all.

Mike Stemple has built 20+ startups, is an expert at ideation, innovation, and startup psychology, and advises corporate executives and innovation teams on how to “think and act more entrepreneurial.”
Top 3 Value Bombs:
1. It has never been easier and more profitable to be an entrepreneur in all of history, even going into this economic environment we are. Great companies were created in scarcity. Scarcity breeds creativity.
2. The innovator psychology is focused on creation and making things, being curious and tracking down new ways of optimizing that machinery.
3. Fierceness is a powerful and heartfelt intensity. Great innovator have an emotional fierceness about them. They have this intensity when they talk about their ideas, this passion that just comes through in the presentation of their ideas, that's lacking in the corporate environment.

Aasha T is the CEO & Founder of BeyondEQ, High-Achiever Coach & Energy Guide for rapid shifts in business, health & love. She started her business two years ago while her world was burning down and still took $500k from Day 1. Emotional Intelligence Creates Unicorns, it’s ALL about momentum.
Top 3 Value Bombs:
1. Momentum works in every direction. So, if you're doing nothing, you're still building momentum of inaction. If you're building momentum toward growth you're going to grow.
2. Emotional intelligence is so often, it's often considered a soft skill, but it is anything but that. It is having the awareness of your emotions in the moment and then using that information of your energy in motion.
3. The biggest problem with emotionally intelligent and inward focused businesses is actually having enough jobs because everybody wants to work there.

Top 3 Value Bombs:
1. The Power of Focus is important to achieve your set goal. The tricky part is if you put your whole life to focus on one goal, and you do not have anything set after that, there is a big let down.
2. It is important to not only focus on what you want, but also have action steps listed out so you can have specific things to do that will help you achieve your goal.
3. You can do whatever you want in life - you decide what happens. If you want to be healthy, you make the right decisions to get you where you want to go. There will be challenges, but look at it as an adventure.
