In this conversation Bill discusses how to thrive in the storms of life and finding your why in a career you love.
QUOTES FROM BILL
“It's way easier not to have to explain why you didn't keep going on. On the flip side of that, if you stumble and you fall and you miss a few things and you miss your workouts, your gym visits, then you can even say, ‘Hey everybody, I drifted a little bit. Can you help me get back on track?’”
“Find your top five for anything that you want to accomplish and make sure those top five are going to elevate you to the levels you want to go. And occasionally you'll have some people that are close to you that may not be suitable to bring you to that level.”
“You can't be sedentary when you have set major goals, or you will fall to that victim mentality or even the survival mentality where, you know what the storm. I'm just going to let it pass and wait and I'll wait for it to pass over and get through this. Why not thrive? Why not be on a course where you want to go out there and succeed like crazy?”
