Summary

“Your Character Is Your Destiny” — Joe Niego

Webster’s dictionary defines character as, “The traits and features that form an individual.” Your character is, then, you who are. In this episode, Brian Buffini interviews Joe Niego, who’s not only America’s top listing agent, but also Brian’s best friend. Joe delves into the concept of character, outlining the three endangered character qualities—discipline, endurance and courage.

You’ll learn why character is created a choice at a time, the role planning and accountability play in the process, and the importance of breaking through quitting points. This episode will help you make wiser choices every day.

Inspirational quotes from today’s interview:

“A person’s character always works its way to the surface.” — Joe Niego

“When the character problems are looked at truthfully, a whole host of problems will go away.” — Joe Niego

“Your character is your destiny” — Joe Niego

“The essence of discipline is delayed gratification.” — Joe Niego

“A process of scheduling the pain and pleasure of life in such a way as to enhance the pleasure by meeting and experiencing the pain first and getting it over with.” — M. Scott Peck

“Become a millionaire not for what you get out of it, but what you can become by it.” — Jim Rohn

“Goals are the tools you use to cultivate an unshakable character.” — Joe Niego

“Endurance is a muscle, you cultivate it one choice at a time.” — Joe Niego

“The same muscle that pushes through a quitting point in your business is the same muscle you’ll have to exercise more patience with your loved ones.” — Brian Buffini

“Courageous people are everyday people who’ve decided intentionally at some point in their lives to drive the stake in the ground and face their fears as opposed to run from them.” — Joe Niego

“A commitment to live the good life is a commitment to the constant reoccurrence of the experience of fear.” — Joe Niego

Mentioned in the episode The Road Less Traveled by M. Scott Peck
