Notes from Chris
Episode 666
THEMES & TAKEAWAYS: When I was going over the notes from this week, I was struck by something that was said by Steve in Ep. 661: "The first would be, if you have a great idea don’t sit on it because everyone’s got a good idea too. It’s the people that actually take action are the ones that can have any sort of success. I will say that people will always doubt you, laugh at your idea. People will tell you that it’s a bad idea. There are other people that will tell you it’s an amazing idea but you really have to listen to your gut, to your intuition, because there are so many people out there who have had good ideas and never do anything about it. As a result they’re stuck in the same position that they’re in."
