Ep. 117 - Build Your Business While Being Happy and Strong
It’s so easy to complain about your life and blame people and circumstances for your situation. But a wise man once told me, “no matter how bad your life is, someone else has it worse.” It’s no use complaining about things outside of your control. If you want a better life, a more fulfilled life, then take control of the things you can control. Don’t worry about the other stuff.

Key Takeaways:
Create your dream life while enjoying the journey
Your book is as much about overcoming as it is about creating your dream life as your subtitle suggests. It’s not a get rich quick book.
I often hear talk that the system favors the rich, yet statistically most millionaires come from the poor and middle class. You’re one of those. Tell us about your childhood growing up.
“When the winds of adversity in this life are beating you down, lean into the wind”
We love the chapter on “put on your oxygen mask first”. Achievers tend to respond to the needs of others before family and themselves. I believe because of the fear you’ll lose ground if you don’t. We act with the priority of others/business, kids, spouse, me….
But it should be the exact opposite. It sounds selfish but it’s actually selfish not to, correct?
Obey the Sabbath is not just a spiritual necessity but a practical one as well
Love the story about Benny- page 214 read - Illustrates how many of us are trying to juggle too much. We say “yes” to everything (guilty as charged). But we wind up not as effective and start dropping more balls then we should, right? How are you able to juggle it all?
