KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Embracing a growth mindset and challenging yourself to develop new skills can lead to unexpected opportunities and success.
• Creating your own opportunities and economy is crucial when faced with seemingly impossible situations.
• Focusing on your end goal and having faith in your journey, rather than comparing yourself to others or adhering to arbitrary timelines, is essential for achieving success.
• Building a business with the intention of making it exit-ready from day one can lead to a smoother and more profitable sale in the future.
• Pursuing your passion and sharing your knowledge through coaching can be a fulfilling way to help others achieve their goals.
• Investing in local properties allows for better control and management of your assets.
• Consistently scheduling non-negotiable "me time" for relaxation and mindset work is crucial for maintaining happiness and well-being.
• Success is a continuous journey, and reaching new milestones opens up new horizons and aspirations.

BEST MOMENTS

"If you can't find opportunities, you create your own opportunities. And you create your own economy."

"In any impossible situation, there are always three exits."

"There are two things that we can't see. We cannot see fear, but also we cannot see faith. So out of two, you might as well choose faith."

"As long as every single day you're getting up and doing your best, and in yourself and in your heart and your head, you can say, 'Yeah, I put in a full day. I didn't turn on the Netflix. I didn't spend an hour scrolling on TikTok. My whole day was consumed with growing and moving forward this business.'”

"Once you reach a certain platform, the horizon opens up, and you think, 'Wow, there are lots more things that I want to achieve and aspire to.'”
