Memorable Quotes "When you're the most interesting person in the room, you're in the wrong room, is the sign for you to either go out and find, or do what I did and create the community that stretches you and grows you." – Rich Litvin "The opposite of success isn't failure, it's mediocrity. Successful people aren't afraid of failure. In fact, it's one of the only ways to become successful, to keep taking risks and failing along the journey. But at some point, what I see in really successful people is there's a sense of there's something missing. And so what I tap into at that point is, what's the legacy you want to leave? What's the contribution you want to make?" – Rich Litvin "You can never have enough of what you don't really need. We're chasing fame, success, recognition, money, yachts, cars, homes, and yet we get them and there's something missing. So, we chase the next one." – Rich Litvin Where to Find Our Guest Website: https://richlitvin.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/richlitvin/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/211350630184649 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/richlitvin/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@rich_litvin To stay connected and to learn more about Vishen and Mindvalley, click on the links below: Website: https://www.mindvalley.com/about YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/vishenlakhiani Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mindvalley/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vishen/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mindvalley Subscribe to 'Mindvalley Membership' to discover 65+ transformational Mindvalley programs – at a surprisingly low annual fee here πŸ‘‰ https://go.mindvalley.com/NOW Learn more about your ad choices.
