Codie Sanchez argues you should cut off people whose limiting beliefs drag you down. She recounts a woman questioning her business acquisitions and explains why you should only take advice from people who've actually done what they're advising: built a business, pursued ambition to the end. Naysayers project their own scarcity mindset onto achievers.

At some point, you just have to cut off people with limiting beliefs. I literally will not let you around me if your beliefs are holding me back. The other day, I was sitting down at lunch with a lady talking about a new business we were going to buy. And she looks at me and she's like, why do you keep buying businesses? At what point is it enough? I had to stop that for a second and go, how come when I do something that I want to do, you assume that that means that I don't have enough? Where do you get this idea that You can't have it all. Who told you that? Here's what I want you to hear. The person telling you that enough is enough at some point is telling you what they couldn't have. You don't take business advice from people who've never built anything, and you don't take ambition advice from people who quit on theirs. Somebody said to me, in a world where Elon Musk just became a trillionaire, people who say it can't be done should not interrupt those who are doing it.
