  • We’ve all got these gifts and this genius. Invest the time in getting your genius out there, amplify those gifts, develop those gifts. That’s what the world wants from us.
  • If it doesn’t matter in five years then it shouldn’t matter in five minutes.
  • You don’t have to stress with what you don’t get done.
  • I encourage everybody to really be at peace with where you are because you’re alive and that’s what matters more than anything else.
  • Maintain a healthy sense of urgency to get where you wanna go; urgency that comes from abundance.
  • It’s important to keep that harmony, there is no balance because when you balance things, you don’t have a win-win.
