Key Quotes:
- “What we fear doing most is usually what we most need to do… I started to use that quote as my guidance system. Wherever I was feeling significant fear, significant resistance, I would try and put it to the top of my priority list and just step into that fear.”
- “The reality is that you’re not gonna suddenly have more time, discipline, or willpower. So it’s best to stop living in the illusion of tomorrow.”
- “I think back and if I wouldn’t have had that one moment of strength… I really don’t know where I’d be right now. It’d be a different world.”
- “You can’t connect the dots looking forward. You can only connect them by looking backward… You have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future.”
- “There have been many times on this journey where it made absolutely no sense to me… but when I look in the rearview mirror, it’s amazing how the dots connect and have led to an absolutely incredible life.”

Key Quotes:
- “Billionaires are often willing to take calculated risks. And most of them are quite risk-averse. But they’ll make the calculated risk, and they’ll embrace innovation.”
- “Success leaves clues and studying the players in big business can teach us what to do and also what not to do.”
- “Significant rewards often come with inherent risks. And they [billionaires] seek opportunities that others may overlook constantly adapting to market changes and technological advancements.”
- “Continuous learning is a crucial principle that dental practice owners can apply to enhance their professional growth and keep their practices in the forefront of their community so that they are not getting commoditized.”
- “Many billionaires actively engage in philanthropic efforts. Part of that is for taxes, granted, but they also see it as a tool for making a positive impact in society. They understand that they have a responsibility that comes with financial success and they strive to contribute to causes that they’re passionate about.”

- “Job one is making sure that it’s all mapped out, that there’s a cadence and a routine.”
- “Review the day-to-day operations of your practice and ensure that they’re efficient, effective, and aligned with the overall strategy of the organization.”

- “Confidence comes from a commitment to mastery. Commitment is 100% word. If you’re 98% committed, you ain’t committed.”

- “Each of us is a one-of-a-kind phenomenon, and your path will be unique. So be courageous and defiant of the right way.”
- “If you’re always on a mastery path and you’re always learning, the learning creates the skills, the skills create the value, the value creates income, and you can continue to compound this as time goes on.”
- “If you know where you are and where you want to go, the first pathway may not work. The second one may not work, but you try multiple pathways until you get to where you need to go.”
