Final Words:

Getting back to business... The ones who attend speaking events, hear the new teaching/principle/technique... then say, that may have worked for them but it wouldn't work in our business... they are the ones that FAIL.

The ones that say, "is it possible that this applies to me", are the ones that will succeed. If we go through life in that mindset, we will be dramatically more successful, we will be a sponge, and we are going to be fulfilled as well. We are going to be changing and evolving all the time, that's a wonderful thing!

Marcus' challenge to you, the listener, is to always go with that mindset that "Is It Possible That This Applies to Me" and he promises that great results will occur!
