Powerful Insights From Codie Sanchez:

“The federal government has turned into a transfer service…they used to provide services to all of us, to citizens. And now if you actually look at the amount of money and where they spend it, they spend most of their money transferring money from those who have made it to those who say that they need it.”

“If you do not listen to channels that are doom and gloom about what might come, then when it comes, one, you won’t recognize it, two, you won’t act on it, and three, you will actually lose from it because somebody else will take advantage of your panic.”

“People are…terrified of failing. And my point is, the US actually has an incredible system called bankruptcy, which a lot of countries don’t have. This is an ability for you to wipe the slate if a business doesn’t work out for you.”

“What a tragedy to let your spark go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the shadows of the could be’s, the what ifs, the maybes.”

“And so in business, everything you’re doing, every decision you make, is really just a determination of, should I do this or this, and which one of those is going to make me more money or more opportunity or more options or better decision making something.”
