Quotes
“Instead of just jumping straight to goals, what is the work that has to happen? And before that little bit of self-inquiry and like, who am I, what's important to me, and what are my guiding principles, and then, once you have a clear grounding in that, then you can start to set some really meaningful goals.” Mike Brcic
“If you're going to climb the ladder of success, make sure it's leaning on the right building. And unless we take the time to get quiet and get still and listen to ourselves, it's very easy to lean that ladder on the wrong building.” – Mike Brcic
“In any group that you join, just commit to it, whether it's six months or one year, just commit as hard as you can to it, and then see what comes back. And if after that time, you don't feel like you're getting value from it, then find something that will bring you value, but give it your heart and soul.” – Mike Brcic
