For me, the signal that was coming into my gut was ‘This is what you always wanted, this is your dream. You’ve got to find a way to go for that dream and go for it.’ ” - Robert Miller “It’s not the success or the failure, it’s trying. If you’ve got a dream inside of you and you’ve never done it, you don’t want to regret that for the rest of your life. You want to give it a shot. If you make it, great. If you don't, at least you tried.” - Robert Miller  “It’s not a straight path to success… It’s one step forward, it’s two steps back, it’s three steps sideways. The goal was to always keep moving forward.” - Robert Miller Resources Mentioned Robert Miller’s Project Grand Slam Follow Your Dream Podcast LEAVE A REVIEW + help someone who wants to explode their business growth by sharing this episode or click here to listen to our previous episodes.
