"If you do a short-term sale and take advantage of people or manipulate them, it's not a good deal. It's a win-lose situation. That's the one sale that you're going to get. But when you treat people in a win-win way, and you treat people with respect, and it's a fair deal, you potentially get a lifetime of business from them." "So many scams happen because people used to put their diaries under their beds, and now they put them online." "We need to be very careful about our social media footprint." "If you're not getting negative feedback, you're not really putting yourself out there. You're not really taking any chances. You're just playing it safe." "We need to be very careful about how we fix horns and halos, because too often we do it too quickly, and we get burnt. That's how scams happen." "Look for people that aren't the yes-man, that are going to be critical." "You need to win, and you need to lose. In doing so, you kind of sharpen that sword to become better." "Become comfortable at being uncomfortable." "There are going to be times in your life where someone is much better than me and is beating the tar out of me. I've got to be comfortable in those times in life so that I can weather that storm." "Twenty percent of the things you do lead to eighty percent of your results." "We're a tribal culture that lies for social cohesion, and if we all told the truth all the time, society would fall apart." "When you feel like you stop learning, you're dying."
