Tweetable Quotes:
- - “A good coach is going to keep you on track to where we know he knows that if you eventually just follow this track, that it leads to success and you get down there a month, six months a year down the line and you look at and go wow, I got the results. But I didn't get them all at one time. I got them inch by inch. Yeah. And so the reality is, if there's no accountability built in, it's easy to veer off” – Pete
- - “Some people may say, Well, I don't make enough money, or, you know, I don't have enough to do what I want to do, or whatever. The truth of it is, is that most of the time we behave ourselves out of what we want.” – Bill
- - “So we have things that scare us, they take us off our path, we run into challenges that maybe we're not motivated anymore. And so we get off our path. So to your point without a coach or accountability partner, let's say accomplishing anything of these important magnitudes is very, very tough.” –Pete
