Building wealth. It’s a very simple formula. Spend less than what you make and invest the difference. Period. Think about it in your own life, in your own businesses, like what is the thing you’re looking forward to and excited about? And it could even be small. One of the phrases I like is put it on the calendar.

What’s on the calendar? What are you looking forward to? Jump, and the net will appear. Who I am now as a risk taker is so different than who I was when I began. And the way that you strengthen that risk muscle is by taking risks. It’s just go out and do something, like take that next step. There are so many people I talk to who get stuck, right? And where do they get stuck? It’s like, okay, I need a business plan.

 I want to tell you about these six mindsets, and the first one, I call “Yes, we can.” Now, B-school strategy 101 says the following: what we’re supposed to do, in a company, is stick to our knitting. We’ve got to figure out what we’re really good at — we call them core competencies — and we’ve got to build on them, invest in them, nurture them, make them more robust.
