As the first day of MAIC 2015 kicks off, I can’t tell you how exciting it is to be here with everyone and be able to share some of the most important ideals that have made a difference in my life. The reason I do what I do is because I’m so passionate about it – it works. I believe in what I do, I believe in inspiring entrepreneurs, and I believe that everyone is entitled to live the life of their dreams. And that comes with being ready to go after what you want and being ready to make a sacrifice for it. There are some very simple principles and I’d love to share a little bit of that here with you today. Ahead, some quotes from my opening speech at MAIC 2015 that I hope you’ll find empowering. Go live the life you deserve. Nobody else is you – that’s your power.
