Gold Nuggets in this Episode:

  • “Your brain is not designed to keep you happy; it’s designed to keep you alive.”
  • “When you have more energy because you’re doing your HAPPI, all of a sudden things start making sense.”
  • “Shifting your state of being gives you more energy to do all the things that you really want to do.”
  • “KISS – Keep It Simple Stupid. You don’t need to make it complicated.”
  • “Fun is the first thing that goes whenever we start working on something in life that we’re excited about, and it needs to be the first thing that stays.”
  • “Often times, we’re just busy for the sake of being busy.”
  • As entrepreneurs, we got into business because we thought we could succeed.

    “If a thought led you to action, why not take more time to think?”
  • “What’s the fastest way to eat an elephant? One bite at a time.”
  • “Everything that we needed to be successful in life we learned when we were kids, and we need reminders of it.”
  • “We must work hard not to become our struggle. Whatever you’re experiencing is not who you are.”
  • “It’s not your last decision that’s going to determine your path; it’s your next decision.”
  • “Happiness cannot be travelled to, cannot be owned, cannot be earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude.” – Denis Waitley
