Best Advice to Other Entrepreneurs:
“if you are not learning and growing you are dying. And I have talked to many entrepreneurs who are so busy working in their business that they have no time to work on their business, they have no time to learn and grow, they are not reading books, they are not going to conferences, they are not listening to podcasts.

Other Quotes From the Chat with Mike Goldman:
- “I find people who are doing what I am doing but at the next level who I try to use as role models”
- “I thought and wanted to think that I was really smart and could do this on my own and what I know now that I didn’t know 15 years ago is that you cannot and should not do it on your own. So, these days I have surrounded myself with unbelievable support, coaches and mastermind groups and just a network of people and I am asking for help every day all of the time. And back when I was 40 and started my business, I felt like if I need to ask for help that meant that I was less than. And man, I would have asked for a lot more help”
- “what you focus on becomes your life”
- “what we focus on expands. So, if you focus on what you don’t want I promise you are going to be stressed overwhelmed and frustrated. If you focus on what you want or you focus on what you are grateful for you are going to feel great. If you focus on those things that are outside of your control you are going to feel frustrated and may be paralysed. If you focus on those things you can control you are going to feel incredibly powerful. So for me the secret is that life is all about focus. And if you can manage your focus then you are going to have the life you dream of”
