Race-car drivers are taught never to think about hitting the wall. The same applies to business: fixating on what you fear (people leaving, failure) makes it happen. Reprogram your thoughts toward what you want instead, and act on bigger dreams.
Do you know that one of the first things they teach race car drivers, Jimmy, do you know? Never think about going in the wall. You don't look at the wall. You don't think about the wall. You know why? Because you're going to go into the frickin' wall. Melissa McQueen, what happens if all my people quit? You don't think about that because they're not going to quit. And the second you start thinking that, they all quit. It's so crazy to me. You're always moving forward and moving towards your— what are you thinking about? And you've got to reprogram that stuff, right? Then you get a little taste of it and you start dreaming bigger. Wow, I could have done more. I wish I would have asked for more. I wish I would have done more. Then we show up to the next convention and we've crossed stage 8 times. Every time we could have. How crazy is this, y'all?
