Few Inspirational Quotes from the Episode
You can grow and scale your business but it's not going to be as successful as it could be if you're not growing yourself personally
· Make sure you're not just trying to grow and scale your business to have that 10 billion portfolio or to have a jet plane but make sure that you're growing personally
· For your first or your first several deals, it is worth giving up a little something just to get started to show your worth, to prove it to someone
· Don't get too bent up on what's fair, what's the best percentage because some percentage is usually better than no percentage if you're not even going to do the deal
· Four puzzle pieces as the reason people usually don't get started: No money, No time, No experience or knowledge, No courage
· If you are struggling to get started, the best thing you can do is to take action even if that action is analyzing one deal a day
