Tim Shiner notes

My wealthy successful friends talk about failure openly and honestly and what they learned.

  • My friends that haven’t been successful try to hide failure
  • Find the why - selling 12 websites to get the 6K down payment to buy a 200K house (one of Tim’s employees)
  • Encourage the next generation - take it as a blessing that it’s up to you to create money and success for yourself.
  • Mentors come before money
  • Give before get
  • 98.6% of people will never have net worth of a million dollars
  • Watch out for the vice in advice - careful who you’re taking advice from.
  • Put a bouncer in front of your mind.
