A speaker on handling criticism that comes with success. He talks about burning the boats and moving forward despite pressure, using early struggles with mortgages and sales targets as proof that relentless commitment works. The message: ignore the noise and keep hitting your targets.
It's so— you know, people are gonna hate on you. The bigger you go, the more hate you're gonna get. And I'm gonna tell you, it's easier for people to find flaw in you than it is for them to find flaw inside themselves. So when you start getting a little dirt thrown on you, you better shake that crap off and realize you better build a sandcastle with it, baby, because you're just getting started, right? You gotta burn the boats. What are you waiting for? I remember we were making all this money when we first started. People like, how in the hell are you guys making all this money? We didn't have any other jobs. We had to. We had a mortgage with kids. People like, I remember when our RVP did our, did our F&A, you almost threw up. He's like, this is crazy. I said, what do I— I didn't even know it's called a Life App. I know. I said, what do I gotta sell to make it happen? You— I've always, Jimmy, I've always said, you give me the target and I will freaking hit it every time.
