Listened to S2E3 and well, I’m ready to “set a goal and go on a mission.” - Tony J. Hughes
More mentionable quotes by Tony J. Hughes:
“You get good in the doing not in the theorizing.”
”Success in life is about getting out of your own way.”
Reminded today, it’s all ‘bout that mindset, ‘bout that mindset, ‘bout that mindset (mindset, mindset, mindset, mindset).
