In Their Words
“The only way you succeed on a large scale financially or in business is by scaling.”
“So one of the ways that I made that shift was to stop asking how to get something done and ask who can get this done.”
“I had focused on the who versus the how, and that turned me into an owner.”
“If you want to really do well get in proximity with people playing the game much higher than yourself.”
“So, proximity is power, and understanding that principle can create more momentum faster than almost anything else that I’ve seen in life and in business.”
