CONVERSATION HIGHLIGHTS

• Shifting from doing the work to Coaching others on the work.
• The work you serving as a philosophy.
• Innovating beyond the expected — in Investing, writing, or anything else.
• Feeling lost today doesn’t mean you’ll always feel that way.
• Where confidence comes from.
• Know who your accountability partner is.
• Are you maximizing the return as much as possible for your client or customer?
• What can come out of a chance meeting? (The ghostwriter story.)
• The six things you need to become a successful investor.
• When uncertainty is the only certainty.

The MAIN QUESTION underlying my conversation with Steve is, How consistent are you in utilizing your own methods, and sticking to your own values, regardless of what everyone else is doing?
