Key Talking Points:

• Victim excuse- be self-aware of how you speak to others Key is to listen to yourself before you’re going to say something instead of listening after you’ve said it
• End of a sentence/statement/question: did it uplift you, give you life and move you forward?
• Producing results inside before they come out
• “One man’s confidence is one man’s arrogance.”
• Ego is fear-based- scarcity mindset, no realization of the real value of who you areWeaknesses are overextension or misuse of a strength 
• Ego is trying to elevate your virtue and lower another person/place or thing- you think you have to be on top or have no value
• Women/wives in auto business tend to not have a fear-based ego when they make mistakes, want to simply correct mistakes and move on without having failure ego
• Letting go of your ego- eating humble pie to move forwardMoment of surrender to the “what ifs/failure/shortcomings” and instead look at “what could be”
• When you put emotional meaning/self-worth/value on a result you didn’t want you to create a victim story- instead move forward to get the result you want 
• Emotional intelligence and personal developmentPeople don’t change until they see the prices they’re paying don't outweigh the benefits they’re getting 
• Until someone sees what it’s costing them, their frustration creates space for the victim and ego stories to exist
• 60% of your emotional intelligence is already hardwired in the brain by the time you’re 5 years old, 7-8 years old 80%, teenager years 95%
• Best return on investment is an investment in yourself 
• Unique AssessmentMeasures in thinking and the ability to produce solutions
