Other Quotes From the Chat with Eric M Twiggs:
- “the fundamental thing is discipline. You have to be excited about boredom. The people that truly succeed because most of what you do is boring and it’s not exciting. So I think you have to be disciplined enough when no one is looking, when no one is cheering for you to do those certain things consistently with the faith that is going to reduce your desired outcome. So I think that being excited about boredom is key”
- “it is important to differentiate yourself because I think when you’re first starting out you may find somebody that is doing like for me Doctor Willie Jolley. So it’s very tempting to try to be the next Doctor Willie Jolley or the next Les Brown but it’s really all about differentiation. So if there is something I would have done differently is I would have leaned more into those things that make me unique and make me different and I would have really made more of an effort to communicate that to the market. Hey here is how I am different, here is my unique perspective on this topic”
- “very easy to put things and say I will do that tomorrow. Tomorrow is today so you have to do things now and you have to really move on these ideas”
