Episode 227 - Elevate and Be at Your Peak

“The greatest gift that you can give to someone else is your true self. And you have to be okay with not everybody being your biggest fan....And the thing with that is you don't need everybody to like you. You need the right people to love you to be truly successful and happy in this game.” - Jake Kelfer

Key Quote/s:?

“You never know what's going to happen in your life. You never know when somebody is going to come in at the right moment. But if you're willing to take action, if you surround yourself with the right people, if you ask questions, if you're willing to ask for help, great things are gonna happen.” - Jake Kelfer

“One of the biggest blocks that we see in society, when we're trying to build these relationships is we never ask, because we're so scared of being told no. But the truth of the matter is, you will be rejected on this journey. That's just the truth.” - Jake Kelfer
