And the difficult part is I think we fail to pay attention to them. It’s good to ask yourself the question: what am I supposed to learn in this season of my life?”  -Brad Noll [17:24] “I asked: What are my non-negotiables? My faith, I'm not compromising my faith. I'm not compromising my family. And I thought beyond the age of 55, when my kids are in junior high and high school, if I stayed in coaching, I had zero chance to be the father I wanted to be. And that's a non-negotiable for me. I want to be the best father I can be.“ -Cam Cameron [43:13]Guest Social LinksTwitter: https://twitter.com/camcameroncoach?lang=en Timestamps[03:19] Cam’s background and story[07:37] The Family Component[13:44] Bouncing back from a losing streak mentally[19:12] The value of having a great coach [25:26] The fundamentals of coaching[29:05] Life experience[34:09] The importance of having direction in life and in your career[37:13] Defining productivity [40:45] Living out affirmations 46:38 Living by your non-negotiables and your core valuesNoll Team Real EstateSINCE 2003, Noll Team Real Estate HAS BEEN HELPING PEOPLE IN THE FORT WAYNE AREA FIND THE FREEDOM TO LIVE THE LIFESTYLE THEY WANT.DESPITE CHANGING MARKETS AND BUSINESS TACTICS, WE HAVE REMAINED TRUE TO THIS BETTER AND IMPROVED BUSINESS MODEL BY FOCUSING ON BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS AND SERVING OTHERS IN EVERYTHING WE DO.WHATEVER STAGE OF LIFE YOU ARE IN, OUR GOAL IS TO PROVIDE YOU WITH THE WISDOM AND TOOLS NECESSARY WHEN BUYING OR SELLING A HOME.
