2022-02-1403 minThe Vick Tipnes Show - It's Never Too Late to Change Your StoryBusiness 101Would you learn how to have a successful business from an employee or a businessman?
The businessman, as long as he practices what he preaches.
Just because someone says they know something on a subject doesn’t make them an expert. That’s why when I hear these professors in colleges talking about business, I don’t take them seriously man.
I don’t know of one successful business person that took a business class, not one. You’ll learn more from going out on your own and doing it than spending your money on t...

If you feel negative thoughts keep you from achieving your goals or full potential then I can tell you from experience that continuing to focus on those negative thoughts is not the answer.

I would find ways to make money whether it be selling household items, having a coke machine business, or calling Charles Schwab in an attempt to open a Charles Schwab account.
Ever since then, my interest in entrepreneurship has transformed my mindset into what it is today and continued to do so when I made the choice to drop out of college and get into sales.

A lot of people are stuck with this one to three or five employee number.
If you're thinking small and you're struggling in your business, the harsh reality is, you're never going to have the level of freedom that you want until you learn the scale.

2022-01-2106 minThe Vick Tipnes Show - It's Never Too Late to Change Your StoryWhy Chasing Money Will Never Make You WealthyIf you’re just chasing money in life, STOP!
You’re doing it wrong by just going for the money because there is something far, far more valuable than money when it comes to building a successful dream life and creating wealth.
And, yes, I realize that saying, “Stop chasing money to build wealth.” might sound like a contradiction, but the meaning will quickly become very clear while you listen to this episode of the podcast.
