Episode Highlights:
- Rod’s family immigrated from Holland when he was 6 years old and they didn’t have much money.
- Rod learned that most of your success comes back to mindset.
- Build relationships with people who think that what you do is easy when you think it’s hard so you can glean tips from them.
- If you’re willing to do what other people won’t do, you’ll find success because you’ll be getting results no one else is.
- Find a moment where you’re energized, awake, and well-hydrated to sit down and write every goal, from the practical to the seemingly insane, that you want to achieve in your lifetime, and who you want to help.
- Set a timeline for each of those goals, or else it isn’t a goal, and then identify your top goals and write a paragraph about why that goal is absolutely essential and non-negotiable.
- Also identify the pain points and consequences of not achieving those goals, because we will do more to avoid pain than we will to achieve pleasure.
- The most successful and happiest people start giving back as soon as possible and shift the focus away from their own egos.
- To build a brand, you have to add value to people’s lives.
- By giving away content for free, you learn what resonates with people and therefore what to monetize.
- Who you know allows you to free up brain space because you don’t have to learn and know everything when you have people you can ask and use as resources.

3 Key Points:
- Never achieve a big goal without having more goals lined up for the future.
- Success is defined by giving back once you achieve.
