Power Quotes From The Show

You Don't Have to Sacrifice Everything for Success

“We have this culture in the entrepreneurial world that you must sacrifice everything for business success. In my world, sacrificing everything means there is no success. The reality of the really successful entrepreneurs is that they are taking care of themselves and they understand where they're going to go and what they're seeing.”Alex Charfen

The More Money, The Greater The Contribution

“Money is an energetic and capital. In a capitalist society where people can choose where to put their money, money flows to the person making the greatest contribution. If you want to make a massive contribution, then make a massive amount of money, and you have proof that you've done that.”Alex Charfen

You Are Here to Change The World

“For people like me, who have been in that place where you feel like you're completely alone, the entire world is against you, and you either have to survive the system or gain the system in order to live. The legacy I want to leave behind is that every person who's ever felt like that knows, without a shadow of a doubt, that not only do you matter, not only are you capable, and not only were you put here to do something, but the fact that you're different from everyone else is exactly the message given you by the universe that you're here to change the world. You are here to make a massive contribution and no one should tell you otherwise.”Alex Charfen
