The role of faith in your career

I believe in an energy constantly creating all things, and if I cultivate a relationship with it, I can become far more powerful than I am alone.

Vendor Financing

Go and work for a big company for two or three years. Then go work for a smaller entrepreneurial company. After five or six years, go negotiate with somebody retiring: 'I'll buy your business, and I'll pay you over three or four years out of the future profits.' Lower risk than starting from scratch - using their money. That's called vendor financing.

What it takes to build success

To build something like an 80 million business, you have to sacrifice time. One day only has 24 hours, and every day and night you are thinking about how to improve, how to get more business, and how to do things better. Every moment, your mind is on your work. I would go to the office every day, even on holidays, reading documents and staying focused.

Necessity is the mother of invention

I was in a motorcycle accident in 2007 and was simply trying to find something to help myself. A lot of people don't know this, but what I created came from trying to fix pain. Necessity is the mother of invention. I needed something, so I made it. I never thought in a million years it would become what it is today - but helping people was always the key.

You just got to believe overall in what you are doing!

I believe in myself and if I fail not everything works out the way you expect but you just got to believe overall in what you are doing, and that you are doing something worthwhile. It's just not all about making money, you are giving back at the same time, and if you don't have that feeling of giving back, you lose that fulfillment of having done something.

You don’t notice pressure building

Life doesn’t stop throwing hard problems at you. You just get more used to dealing with them over time, and you don’t overreact as much as you did when you were younger.

What a behavior therapist should do when someone is afraid

What you try to do if you are a behavior therapist is you break down the thing they're avoiding into smaller and smaller peaces until you find a peace that's small enough so they'll do it. It doesn't really matter as long as they start it. Then they can put the next peace on the next peace and what happens is they don't get less afraid exactly, they get braver

Stop wasting money on the fancy shoes!

Save money and invest in yourself. Nobody talks about saving money anymore. Stop wasting money on the fancy shoes. I didn't by the fancy shoes. I didn't buy the cars. I didn't buy all the stuff.

Value distinctions between things

There's value distinctions between things. Some things are worth doing and some things are not and you can kind of discover what that is for yourself and then you should aim at the things that are most worth doing and what you'll find if you watch carefully is that the things that you find worth doing are almost always associated with an increase in responsibility

The toughest thing entrepreneurs face today

I don't think everybody's built for entrepreneurship. It requires a special spark, determination, and the ability to persist against all odds. Every entrepreneur reaches a point where they wonder, "Am I going to make it? Will this all be worth it?" The hardest part is pushing through that doubt and believing that what you're doing matters - and that you'll make it.

Spend 90% on your job and 10% on your career

If you spend 100% of your time on your job, you'll do a great job - but no one will see you moving beyond it because you're not building your future. If you spend only 80% on your job and 20% on your career, you won't do your current job well enough. The right balance is about 90% on your job and 10% on your career - making connections, learning, and preparing for the next level.

Women outnumber men so the men hypothetically have more sexual opportunity but that's not what happens.

It's bad for most of the men and the men who have all the sexual opportunity gets cynical
