I told Carson about friends I have that I would consider very successful in both their relationships as well as their finances and their fitness. I told him how these guys didn’t get this way by getting rich quick or having something happen overnight. They have consistently worked hard and developed habits that they apply every day over a long period of time.

I learned, probably more inherited, my perspective in life from my grandfather. He was a self-starter. He owned gas stations, property, car dealerships, and a host of other businesses he started from the ground up. He had a great enthusiasm for life and seemed almost addicted to the risk it took to become successful.
