KEY TAKEAWAYS
How to become an entrepreneur.

• Take everything as math. You got to sit down and look at the different data that you have that's affecting a lot of things. You're thinking what's growing your business is X which in reality was growing your businesses why and you haven't paid any attention to Y and you've been putting all your focus into X because somebody told you Y is more important than y.
• You've got to learn the ability to process issues. the more you process issues and the motives behind certain things taking place, business becomes a piece of cake, relationships become a piece of cake, reading people becomes a piece of cake and life becomes a piece of cake.

• Think of the next innovative campaign. That is part of the creative genius of the CEO, the entrepreneur.

• Leadership development. Leadership development is you focusing on taking your current guys that you have on your team.

• Passion. Don’t say you have passion and you don’t know what your passion is. Sometimes we are forcing passion upon ourselves, while in reality, it is more important for you to go work with somebody who's passionate to have that passion be injected into you.

• The mantra of life. Out-work, out-improve, out-strategize and out-last.

• Level of curiosity. Wanting to know the madness behind that creativity of successful people, what else are they doing?
