[04:50] – Worst Entrepreneurial Moment: In entrepreneurship, very few things are wasted. Ellory’s biggest failure came a few months into his journey. He spent an entire month creating a membership site that didn’t make him a single dollar. He created an entire course and entire series of videos that just didn’t sell
[07:00] – “Too many people undervalue what they have to offer”
[07:46] – Keep improving yourself
[08:35] – Entrepreneurial AH-HA Moment: Ellory was in Florida to talk to a group of podcasters. The night before his talk, he had a dream—he was sitting in a car late at night and his foot was on the brake while all the other cars were driving past him. There was a divide in the highway, a road to the left and one to the right. The person inside the car told him, “Ellory, nobody is going to tell you to go.” He realized nobody was going to tell him to do something besides himself
[12:07] – “Take your foot off the brake”
[12:36] – What is the one thing you are most FIRED up about today? “I’m actually launching a product! I’m working on a program that is very similar to others out there but very different as well”

- Share an internet resource, like Evernote, with Fire Nation – Waveapps
- If you could recommend one book to our listeners, what would it be and why? – The Power of Positive Living – “it helped me come up with my personal mottos”
