Other Quotes From the Chat with Roger Hall:
- “the secret to success is the ability to delay gratification, self-discipline ”
- “get really smart about financials. I think some people get really caught up early on about getting their brand and making sure that they’ve got the right name and the right logo. It’s very easy to spend a lot of time, effort and energy on the showpieces but it really is the mechanics of the business that make a business go or not. So I would encourage people to study up on basic business financials. If you are an entrepreneur and you have got a product or service and you don’t know financials then you should study up”
- “self-control is the greatest human strength”
- “the lack of over attachment is the secret to power and freedom”
