I met Sara Blakely’s husband

That moment where you’re in a room, one amongst hundreds, and everyone is silent, but deeply connected. Eyes wide open looking at the stage. Feeling that stir in your belly and your heart out to burst from your chest with excitement.

That’s how I felt watching Jesse Itzler speak. Jesse is the husband of Sara Blakely (founder of Spanx) and a billionaire in his own right. He co-founded Marquis Jet which was sold to Warren Buffet for $5B, a partner in Zico Coconut Water, the founder of The 100 Mile Group and an owner of an NBA team.

There were so many golden nuggets I would love to share with you.

Here’s a quick video where he shared 3 tips to help you get out of your own way. The one that woke me up was number 3. How about you? I’d love to hear, hit reply and tell me which one got you.
