Alex is the author of the new business book The Third Door, which chronicles his five-year quest tracking down Bill Gates, Lady Gaga, Warren Buffett, Maya Angelou, Steven Spielberg, and dozens more of the world’s most successful people to uncover how they broke through and launched their careers.
Top 3 Value Bombs:
1. The biggest mistake people make is that they look up to interviewers they admire, they look up to their styles and they copy that. They are focusing on what those styles are, not why those styles exist.
2. There are dangers of over persistence. You can bang on the door so many times that people will call the police on you.
3. You can give someone all the best wisdom and knowledge in the world and their life can still feel stuck. But if you changed what some will believe is possible, they’ll never be the same.
