3 Value Bombs

1) Don’t focus on becoming an expert on things that you don’t like.

2) Leaving a legacy is more than just leaving money to somebody; it’s leaving something of value that can change a life, a family, or a community.

3) When looking for a mentor or a partner, make sure you are not compromising your own character or values.

• You need to develop a skill that is valuable to other people.
• Figure out what you’re good at, what you like, and what you don’t like… Don’t focus on becoming an expert on things that you don’t like.

[22:16] – How and why are you getting your kids involved in the business?

• To build a family legacy; it’s not just one person going out and creating income for the family – it’s getting the whole family involved.
• Leaving a legacy is more than just leaving money to somebody; it’s leaving something of value that can change a life, a family, or a community.

[25:15] – Is there a benefit to working with a coach?
