Most people never pick up the phone or ask for what they want. The difference between dreamers and doers is action, willingness to fail, and the ability to stay intensely focused on your vision even when nobody else gets it.
Most people never pick up the phone and call. Most people never ask. And that's what separates people that do things from the people that just dream about them. You got to act and you've got to be willing to fail. You've got to be willing to crash and burn, you know, with people on the phone, with starting a company, with whatever. If you're afraid of failing, you won't get very far.
See, it'd be very hard for people to tune others out to achieve the things they want when people don't have the same vision as you have or understand your vision. I was very fortunate where people let me be me. And when I was focused on building this business, I didn't get a lot of slack for my level of focus.
