Today’s Audio MASTERCLASS: Becoming a GOAT with Tony Taveras
[1:27] – Tony shares something he believes about becoming successful that most people disagree with.
- He believes that your life should be in good order to be a successful entrepreneur. It all comes together as one.
[2:50] – Tony shares his origin story.
- His story started in Groesbeck, Texas, where he earned the nickname “the goat,” inspired by the town’s mascot.
- He was a standout athlete in high school and college, excelling in football and basketball at North Texas.
- He harbored aspirations of playing in the NFL, but at 21, he suffered a career-ending injury.
- Against some advice, he left his corporate job and joined Linear Roofing, a small mom-and-pop operation.
- After eight years, they disrupted the industry, transacting for over $100 million with private equity.
[7:54] – Tony shares his belief that your mind is your most potent weapon and shares a few real-world examples.
- It is essential to understand that wishing for your dreams to come true is not enough. You must be intentional every day, focusing your energy on achieving them.
- When he worked as a young manager at LA Fitness, he had little sales experience but managed a $10 million store. Despite this, his enthusiasm and dedication led him to success.
- Another example is when he was growing his roofing business and pursuing bodybuilding, he faced a significant challenge. Just six weeks before an important competition, he developed a hernia. However, instead of giving up, he took inspiration from Kobe Bryant’s mindset – that challenges can be used to test one’s true potential.
