Summary

Greg Reid wraps up the week with a story that will make you think twice before giving up. The best time to take action is now. Regardless of what anyone says, never let another person hold you back or talk you out of what you know to be true.

Successful people seek counsel where failures listen to opinions. Counsel is based on wisdom, expertise, and mentorship. Whereas opinion is often based on ignorance and lack of knowledge. Simply put, not every opinion matters.

Greg invites you to step across your fears and worries and just keep going. The moment you’re ready to quit is the time when you need to kick in the most because you can literally be three feet from gold.

Yo, today's QOD is Successful People Seek Council, where failures listen to a

opinion. Here we go.

Welcome back to the Quoted Day Show. I'm your host, Sean Crox and a

0:37.6

Sean Crox and.com. We've got Greg S. Reed on the show today. He's covering two

0:43.5

very important topics. Top number one, when things get rough, don't give up on

0:49.8

yourself. Because when you do give up, when you do quit, you have to live the rest

0:55.2

of your life wondering whether or not you were three feet from gold. And that is

0:59.4

very difficult to do. So you're going to hear that story. Number two, and this is

1:03.5

one of my philosophies on life. Seek Council, not opinions. When you want to do

1:09.5

something that you've never done before, you're not sure how to do it. Don't seek the

1:14.8

opinions of people who've never done it before. Always seek council. Always reach

1:20.0

out to people who have already walked in your shoes. Always seek the council

1:24.0

people who have walked your path before you. Because they're going to be able to

1:28.2

help you out to navigate those obstacles and those pitfalls and put you on the

1:32.8

correct course. So always seek council. Not opinions. Before we get to Greg, a

Tremendous Jones and he had a quote. He says that you are the same today as

1:48.6

you'll be in five years, except for two things. The people you meet and the

1:52.8

books you read. It's who you hang out with. It's what you put your head that

determines your character as a person. And the time we're going to have together,

2:00.4

I'm going to tap a little bit of both. By the way, this is my big best selling

book called Three Feet from Gold. When I'm done, someone can take it. If you'd
