One simple way to identify the winners: they move at the speed of instruction. When you present an idea or offer a suggestion, they act on it immediately. If you find yourself repeating yourself, you know you're spending energy on the wrong people.

The market pays based on the problems you solve. When you obsess about your income at the expense of your customers' needs, you're on the path to self-sabotage.

If you want to build wealth, put your energy into solving big problems. The money will follow.

When you move up to another level, is it necessary to leave behind certain people?

In my opinion, absolutely. In some small way, every interaction either energizes or drains you. When you level up, you have to let go of the people who drain you.

This clip about how James Harden is the problem. I tip my hat to Dallas Mavericks analyst Brian Dameris for one of the best call-outs ever.

Stop blaming your circumstances and become accountable. You may get away with it a few times, but eventually, like Harden, you will be exposed.

Grace. If a person commits to personal development and God, I'm willing to forgive them.

Stop believing that you control everything. When you recognize that you need help and have gratitude for all your blessings, you build grace.
