KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Chris' life was going nowhere until he attended a success seminar. There he was inspired by the speaker, Zig Ziglar, whose words connected with Chris. By chance, Chris met Ziglar, who became his mentor.
• Most business people are stuck, not because the tools aren't available or not because they can't access knowledge or resources. It's because of their own mind. Chris calls these mental blocks “mind knots”
• There are four levels in business life;
  • Survival - Business people simply trying to get by
  • Stability - A little bit of comfort, but still not where they'd like to be
  • Success - Achieving your aims and goals
  • Significance - Over-achieving to the point of comfort
• 80% of people do not have any goals. 16% of us have goals, but they're not specified or written down. 3% have goals and have stated them, but do not review them. Only 1% of people have goals and a path towards achieving them.
• If you can get to a place where you really believe that challenges and successes are the vehicles that help you to grow, you'll have a different perspective when those challenges arrive. 
• Opportunities come from connections, people, other entrepreneurs. We should always be actively seeking people and opportunities. We should begin each day by wondering how our lives will improve
