“I’m in the lobby and they would run out of their office. Then they’re like, “Oh, it’s not the Lucy Liu.” My confidence was crushed from time to time, obviously. They make it so apparent that they were disappointed to see me. But I’m naturally positive so I’m not super crushed like my life is ending, I’m useless. None of that. You can go down the negative spiral or you can choose to be positive.”

“Sometimes when I work with Blended Families, I have to ask them a lot of questions to help them understand us understand each other.

“The more you say ‘no more’, the more people want to work with you. It’s like the open and close cart sequence for products. It’s very powerful. Let’s say you’re running a course on a webinar and after that particular webinar, the course is only available for 72 hours. If in the first 24 hours you have ‘early bird incentives’, that kind of stuff makes people act.”

“Find things that you love to do and ask a lot of questions. You will be surprised to learn things about yourself and about other people. Engaging with the world is the key to being happy.”

“Providing well-managed housing for people can be profitable. It is a business. Now, most people buy real estate based on the previous trends of an area or location. Keep in mind that the climate changes in ways that impact people as well as real estate. Real estate exists on the ground and people utilize that real estate.

“You do it or you don’t. Those simple words: You do it or you don’t. I set my alarm to 4:46 AM every single day and I would have those words go through my head. You do it or you don’t. I’m going to start my podcast or not. I’m going to record or not. It was just the simple things. It was a mantra-rally cry that I use that wish I had at the beginning.”

If that requires education, I’m 100% an advocate for it; but if it doesn’t, I’m 100% an advocate for trade schools and any type of certificate programs that can help you get to that place.”

— Michael Dixon, Sr.

I remind them that they have gone through this before. Let’s move! Let’s NOT procrastinate. And silence that inner critic!”

“A fatal flaw that is common to most entrepreneurs is trying to do everything yourself. We need to let go of the controls and the reins. Entrepreneurs need to understand what they are good at and focus on that. And then, finding out what they are not good at and hiring people who can do those jobs for you.”

— Jean Ginzburg

“Learn. Get as much information as you can from people in your space but be authentic. Be yourself. As a leader, as somebody who is changing the world, all you can do is be authentic to yourself. That will give you the driving force to change the world.”
