Other Quotes From the Chat with Edward Mermelstein:
- “I try not to have regrets about what I could of all should have… I try not to look back; I try to just look forward and think of what can I do better today rather than what I could have done differently in my past. So that’s something that I think drives me quite often is looking forward rather than looking back”
- “working hard, there’s no substitute for working hard. People get lucky in business where they are just at the right place at the right time. But along with luck if you are not a hard worker that luck typically lasts just that short period of time. And then if you don’t continuously get lucky after that which most people don’t you tend to lose pretty much everything that you have. So, if you are not a hard worker that creates their look over and over by putting in 150 percent effort into whatever you are doing it’s typically something that doesn’t last”
