You can have a great idea, you can be incredibly enthusiastic, your I can can be larger than your I can't, but here's the thing that ultimately will make you a genius-level entrepreneur, it's skill, it's acumen. I mean, when I work with the billionaires as their private advisor to help them exponentially grow their businesses or craft world-class lives that make history, when I work with the best of the best, I mean, a lot of NFL athletes, NBA athletes, uh football superstars who follow my work.

Of course, North Americans can't touch their acumen. So, other worldly acumen born of deep and daily deliberate practice
