So undergrad college and dental school, that was three years of undergrad and four years… That was seven years when I was not making money and I am sitting here borrowing and spending money… And then when I got my dental office… I rented a space, I opened up my dental office and got it open just in time for Black Monday in October where the US stock market fell 25% in one day. But I saw that is a big blessing because I noticed how the depression affected my grandparents.

Other Quotes From the Chat with Howard Farran:

  • “you just have your person, your time and your resources”
  • “finding money is not problem, paying back is. But you are saying you can’t do this business because you don’t have $1 million. There is a list of a million people a million long that found $1 million and you’ve already given up on trying to find $1 million and you haven’t even made one phone call, you haven’t knocked on doors, you haven’t asked the bank. So everybody has an excuse to delay what they need to do today”
  • “anything good is going to be better if it’s smaller, it’s going to be better if it’s cheaper, it’s going to be better if it’s higher quality and lasts longer… And when you are saying you have got an idea I just hold up my finger and I say is it better, is it faster, is it easier, is it higher quality, is it lowering cost, is it smaller? And if you get all five of those fingers right how could you not do it”
  • “work for yourself, solve problems, work like no man has for 10 years and you will reap like no man has for 20 years”
  • “quit being lazy, start being disciplined”
  • “common sense is not common to anyone who doesn’t read history”
  • “in life you don’t get what you deserve you get what you negotiate”
  • “decide now. Do you want to spend your whole life learning everything the hard way or do you want to create a habit of reading an hour a day… drop everything and read. I gave you… dare you drop everything and read…DEAR – Drop Everything And Read… Get that habit done and you will 10 your life. And if you say I don’t have time to read then that’s really saying you have time to learn everything the hard way and I know exactly how that’s going to work out for you and it’s not going to be pretty”
  • “if you are not prepared to bet your entire company every five years you should just sell it today”
  • “living in fear is not an option”
