I have a son named Jeb, and he met Bill when he was 14. Bill always goes out of his way to talk to him, spend time with him, joke with him, communicate with him, share an idea or a lesson with him. Jeb is 18 now, and I can honestly tell you that Bill Gove is one of his role models - one of his gods, almost. It's very unusual to have someone of Bill's stature and experience take that amount of time with a young kid. That tells you a lot about Bill Gove.
Nothing comes very quickly.
It took me about 15 years in this business to break into a six-figure personal income, because I was putting so much back into the business. It always takes longer than you think. I think it's very important to niche yourself in something you're known for. It's important who knows you. You have to be able to create some awareness and some pull, and you need to do that in a very niched way.
