Think you need a college education to get ahead in business? Think again. Whether you get a formal education or not, the key to true success comes from grit, hard work, perseverance, mentorship, and an unshakeable mindset. In this episode of Habits & Hustle, I’m joined by Dave Liniger, the chairman of RE/MAX, the leading franchisor of real estate offices throughout the world. Together we discuss how to achieve true longevity in business and the key elements of determination, persistence, and the mindset required to build a global business from the ground up. We discuss the relentless pace of today’s world and how adaptability, rather than strength, is the key to longevity and success. He shares his experience of grit and determination, particularly through a life-changing accident that left him temporarily paralyzed. He also shares insights on building courage through experience and the mental resilience that enabled him to overcome his paralysis, and the value of real-world experience and leadership skills over academic qualifications.
