Habit of Thought:

“The habit of thought is really the key...You wake up in the morning and you have a choice. You control the day, the day doesn’t control you.”

Habit of Action: “Doing what you’re thinking, which is tied into your goals, which is tied into your vision”

-Be positive about what you’re doing and follow through.

Greatest area of strength: “I always train my mind to be in the right way” Nik’s take: Building community

Marcus’s response to Nik’s take:

The environment is key. “I wanted to make something that makes humans better the moment that they walk through the door.” How would you train someone to create a powerful environment? Ask yourself: “Who are you?”

Know yourself and then know your needs.
