James Altucher Show

Podcast Notes Key Takeaways “My dad, he taught me a few things what to do, but more than anything, he taught me what not to do. He taught me how not to be a father.” – JT McCormickJT eliminated 3 words from his vocabulary: hope, wish, and luck“You can wish all day, it’s not going to produce anything” “I don’t do hope, I believe. Believe forces execution” – JT McCormickDon’t spend time hoping, wishing, or waiting to get lucky. Instead, believe in what you want and go after it.Instead of debating people online, JT focuses on his business, wife, and children“I focus on the things that I can influence, have a bit of control over, and outside of that I don’t really get involved with other people’s opinions or thoughts” – JT McCormickAn important lesson JT learned at 9 years old: “Everyone is not going to like me. I’m never going to be able to make everyone happy, so I’m not going to spend my life trying to make everyone happy.” – JT McCormickIf no one loves or believes in you, then love and believe in yourself:“So at the end of the day, there’s always one person in this world that loves me and believes in me, it’s me” – JT McCormick“You’re only as good as the great people you’re surrounded by and that became the way I did business” – JT McCormickWriting a book is a difficult skill; it’s hard to be a top endurance runner and a professional writer. Scribe helps amazing people tell their stories without them having to spend years learning how to write a book.

I am always into Self Publishing, so when The President and CEO of Scribe Media, Jevon "JT" McCormick has a book, I Got There, came out, I had to have him to talk about his life journey!

He was the son of a pimp, and now he's the president and CEO of Scribe Media! He sticks to his core principle, and not letting his past pulled him down! Make sure to get his book, I Got There, on Amazon or anywhere you get your new book!
