Ramit Sethi on Building an Empire, Powerful Habits and The Art of Becoming The Best

Can you remember a defining moment in your life that led you to where you are now?

You know, the moment you knew your town stunted your growth so you moved to “the big city”.  Or when you finally got sick and tired of working that corporate job and started your own business.

There are specific moments we experience that define and direct our thoughts and actions throughout the rest of our life.

I’m fascinated by these moments.  They show me why someone is successful and living their dreams and why others aren’t.

On this weeks episode of  the School of Greatness I dive into those defining moments of our next guest who is a New York Times best selling author and serial entrepreneur.  During the episode he reveals how he built his empire, what you can do to build powerful habits in your business and life, and the art of becoming the best at everything you do.

Welcome to episode number 75 with the mind behind I Will Teach You to Be Rich, Ramit Sethi.
