Quotes:

“I can surround myself with great people and understand that I don't need to be the smartest person on the team. I want to be the dumbest person on the team. And I'm very good at that. So, I surround myself with great people who are great at the things that I'm not good at”.

“When you stack wins, all of a sudden you build momentum. And when you stack wins, and you build momentum, you get confidence behind what you're doing”.

“What has allowed me to be successful is, is scrapping away and pulling back all of the fluff and all the complexities that scare people and confuse people and confuse business owners and businesses”.

“So, relationship capital, to me is the most important asset we all have. If you gave me a choice, and I moved to a new city, and you said, I can introduce you to 100 of the most influential people in the city, and you'll be friends with them. Or I can give you a million dollars. Which would you rather have? I would want the 100 introductions”.

“People love talking about themselves and if you can help them first…it is always the law of reciprocity, or whatever that is. It always comes around”.
