We started off with Lane telling us a bit about his background and his development as an entrepreneur. Lane explained how he got started with real estate investment and his experience with coaching. He then shared the best books he followed and the mindset he adopted on his way to success. Afterwards, Lane talked about how the DRIVE acronym relates to passive-aggressiveness and some common sales techniques. He also mentioned the importance of striving to outperform even yourself but then leaving everything behind when you go to sleep. We also mentioned how getting doors slammed in your face can increase your determination. We moved on to talk about non-negotiables and how knowing what isn't an option for you can really help you with your future plan. Greg, Matt and Lane all shared their non-negotiables as well.

Before you start on a new journey, make sure to always clear up your goals and ideas. Without a direction, you'll end up getting nowhere. Find what makes YOU and your vision of the future unique and see how that's best utilized. Sometimes that's not in the job you are in right now - it does take courage to pick up something new, however if you find that courage, the benefits you reap will be worth the failures and the closed doors along the way. Finally, take notice of the people around you. There will be great mentors along the way - listen to their advice and honor it by producing the best results, because then it will be an achievement for them as well. Value human life and talk to those around you openly and honestly. You never know when it might be a case of saving someone's life. Think about yourself too. Find something to be grateful for every day that will give you the motivation and strength to carry on even in the darkest of times.
