Quotes
"You have to believe it before you achieve it. And so if you start with the feeling of belief in yourself, then you can hear all the ideas that either your friends are going to tell you or from a book that you read, or from wherever you get your inspiration. But until you believe it, you can have a one on one lunch with Warren Buffett, and he can break down his entire system to you on what to do and you will not hear what you need."
"The level of information on what to do to make money is abundant. There's no reason anybody shouldn't be doing what they want to do. The knowledge is out there, and it's super accessible. The only missing element is belief. Some people say, ‘I've worked 80 hours a week following this person's foolproof action to be successful, and I'm still broke.’... That’s because you never believed in yourself.”
“I have a friend who was spending a ton of time focused on finding ‘the perfect’ trading system. He said, ‘I need the perfect trading system in order to make money.’ I told him, ‘You are the perfect trading system.’"
"The key is to own the faith, the belief, and do everything you can to build on that, and don't act until you have it. And by the way, you have to restart it every single day, because I still wake up every morning and I'm looking at the ‘dark side of the moon’ on some things. And so I have to go meditate, go rebelieve in myself so I can get up and do this and speak confidently and talk to clients confidently and maintain my confidence so that I can continue to move forward and evolve."
"Because I feel like if you feel like you need money, then what you're feeling is, I lack what I need."
"There's plenty of other people that because they had a good idea and they believed in it, they attracted other investors who wanted to invest in their company, and or they were led to maybe like a franchising opportunity where the bank would finance the business. They started from a place of openness, a place of faith where they believed in themselves. And then through serendipity, luck, whatever you want to call it, they found what was necessary."
