Quotes:
“When people pick up ideas like ‘I can’t make money because Trump’s the president or Obama’s the president, or I can’t make money because customers are stupid and don’t appreciate what we do, or my competitor is irrational and has a pricing model that causes me to lose,’ we start to give up power because we decide that external factors determine our success or failure.” – Anthony
“When you decide that you want something different, then you have to start backing it up with actions.” – Anthony
“I only want to give somebody something they can say yes to. I don’t want to give them something they can say no to.” – Anthony
