Hey, what's the most annoying thing that you have to deal with week in and week out?

And just listen without defending it.

And do your best to find that one irritant and ask yourself, what can I do to remove it?

You don't have to fix everything.

But if you fix something, one thing, I think momentum will begin.

And I think relief with one annoyance can build a lot of trust.

Trust can build some loyalty.

And I think loyalty can build some growth.

Way too often we precalculate failure and this abort mission altogether.

We literally talk ourselves out of our own dreams every single day.

They're predicting, according to my assessment, I will fail.

Therefore, I won't even try.

You can't sell a book that you don't write.

You can't get people to listen to a podcast you won't record.

Even this morning, it was like, hey, are you going to a book tour?

I'm like, well, what if I go to a Barnes and Noble in New York and nobody shows up?

No, like you got to put yourself out there.

I think the difference between people who are successful and people who don't get all that they want from their life is that successful people were willing to go sit in a bookstore and be by themselves.

Yes, it is my privilege to be here with you.

Yeah, for sure.
