Quotes from Tony:

[shadowbox]”To me, the most interesting thing about really successful people is that they are just normal people that had an abnormal experience. Their fame and success is usually based on one thing they did differently than everyone else.”

“The network you build comes from a lifetime of work – it doesn’t happen overnight.”

“At the beginning, very few people are going to see your vision.  It’s so crummy and unrealized, you basically have to run into someone who is thinking the exact same way as you in order to get them to invest.”

“Although common wisdom says it takes 10,000 hours to become supremely talented at something, keep in mind that it takes only 10 hours to see immediate dividends – because most people don’t practice at all.”[/shadowbox]
