Noteworthy Quotes from This Episode

“The law of association. You become the people you spend the most time with. So, whether it’s 1 person or 100 people, you are influenced by their energy, you’re influenced by what they do.”

“Here’s what people don’t understand, and this is the big bridge: discipline is a result of a structure. When you have a structure, you will automatically be disciplined as long as you follow the structure.”

“I find that most people are capable of following non-negotiable rules when someone else sets those rules for them. But very few people set non-negotiable rules for themselves and hold themselves to the same standards that they allow others to hold them to.”

“That’s the most important thing that we need when it comes to confidence: is we need to give ourselves permission or use someone else as a proxy to give us permission to step into the person that we need to be.”

“I think the higher your ambition and the bigger your goals, the more time you’re going to spend having not reached them, and that’s just the way that it works.”
