Key Points from This Episode:
Tweetables:
“One of my life goals is to live to the energy death of the universe because I love being alive so much.”
“However I perceive the day for me is how my day is.”
“Whether you think you can or you think you can't, you're right.” - Henry Ford
“It is how we perceive the world that matters. If we think it's good, it is good. If we think it's bad, it's bad.”
“The moment that you accept full responsibility for everything in your life is the moment you can change anything in your life.” - Hal Elrod
“If you focus on the positive, you win.”
“You have to recognize that you don't actually have to change the world to change the world.”
“This amazing purpose that I get to live now is to share this story about how mindset is the only thing that matters.”
“Timing the market is actually really easy. If you bought in 2006 and you sold in 2010, you got crushed. If you bought in 2006, you sell now, you did fine. You bought at the top of the last market, sell some other times. So, my strategy is, buy whenever you buy, sell when it's high.”
“The great part about real estate is it's a levered way to get exposed to inflation.”
“Whatever tragedy happens to us, whatever circumstances we find ourselves in, we're called to respond to that in the best possible way and to live the best possible version of our lives.”

At 30 years old, Jeff checked the last item off his personal bucket list by climbing Machu Picchu. He was on top of the world. As he stood looking down at the lost Incan city, he had been living the life of his dreams. He was well traveled, having previously visited the Pyramids in Egypt, climbed to the top of Mt Sinai, swam with sharks in Belize, and backpacked alone around Europe.

His business was in disarray, his wife was barely holding it together and he was on his way to bankruptcy.
