Allow me to talk to you about committing to a constant and never-ending improvement. When I start thinking about my life, I start thinking about the businesses that we own and some of the things that we've done - it's been kind of 42 years of a constant state of improvement! Trying to move. It's always trying to do better.
One of the things we can do is to ask ourselves tough questions and then you know we've really got to do better as we go forward. I remember a quote that Oliver Cromwell said back, this is you know forever ago, back in the 1600s and he said, “He who stops being better stops being good”. I don't know about you but I don't want to stop being better. I want to be good all the time. I always want to be kind of making some progress, improve in small incremental ways.

I do want to tell you about something that I think could really help you - there are two main culprits that can destroy your future success. One is ISOLATION and the other one is SELF-DOUBT. The reason it matters today is that we were designed to be in the community. We weren't designed to be alone, we're designed to be around a lot of people.
I've discovered that when you're around other people, it really eliminates loneliness and low self-esteem. Oftentimes, we have social anxiety, and being around other people eliminates a lot of that. Listen, I've worked with a lot of people for a lot of years and I do understand the value of being in a community, being around other people.

We now live in a society today that is absolutely taken over with fear and insecurity. I want to talk to you about that just for a second. Listen, fear's not necessarily a bad thing. It was created to help protect us to some degree, now we shouldn't crawl underneath our desk in a fetal position and be afraid all the time. There's a certain level of fear that's healthy!
Through the course of my career for 42 years, there's been an element of fear and insecurity - depending on the circumstances and the situations that you're placed in but one of the things that I have found that has increased my fear and insecurity is my willingness to go it alone, to be independent.
The truth is we all need each other! That's where the success happens, is when we get involved in interdependence. We can take our lives and our business to the next level!

I was thinking yesterday in a meeting that I was in some of the things that we've done in our business that has helped us immensely but I got to tell you straight out of the gate, I got to give the credit where the credit is due - John Lee Dumas taught me something he doesn't even know that he taught me this but years ago!

I took off October, November and December from doing Facebook lives. Some of the reasons is that I just couldn't handle all the noise! It was driving me out of my mind! All of this social injustice and this political stuff that was going on, the bantering back and forth. I'm like, “oh my gosh, I gotta take a break! This is getting to me! So I set it aside. I didn't go anywhere. It's just that I could not handle all of that confusion!
Now, let me talk. about our VALUES....
