Key Takeaways:
- Upper Limit Problem: The false belief that you are not deserving of your accomplishments, and so you self-sabotage.
- Zone of Genius vs. Zone of Excellence: Identify what kind of work lights you up and flows freely, and do more of that. Staying in your Zone of Excellence feels good, but to really be successful, you must work within your Zone of Genius.
- Einstein Time: the idea that time does not control us, rather WE control our time. Kind of an esoteric idea, really. But working on your relationship with time is one of the major struggles of the entrepreneur.
- Ultimate Success Mantra (USM): “I expand in abundance, success, and love every day, as I inspire others to do the same.”
