Your focus decides your future. Most of you who are listening, not only do you not have a focus,

somebody else has your focus. That's it. You feel me? And I'm just going to be real. I blew up

too many options now. The internet has given you too many options. When you start doing so much

stuff and nothing is going to the next level, you lose all your credibility with other humans.

And you and yourself. And yourself. The reason why we're doing something has to be deep

because the forces that are coming against us are deep.

And if the forces that are coming against us are deeper than the forces that make us do what we do,

then we're going to have some issues.

We're going to have some issues. Secret to Success Podcast, baby.
