“You have a new identity sitting out in front of you. You just haven’t have the courage to tell your brain, ‘It is time!’” [00:15:34]
“The keyword is data points. There’s all these things that happen in your life that you don’t put the two together at the time but then – and this is the important piece of being out in nature, and not working 25 hours a day and being in the hamster wheel. You gotta get away from your life and just get out and get your heart rate elevated and start putting these data points together.” [00:16:33]
“The more you do what you say you’re going to do, the more you become to trust that you will. Conversely, the more you say you’re gonna do something and… [not do it], you deserve to be down on yourself because you’re not living up to who you could possibly be.” [00:32:11]
“Do less. It’s hard enough to roll a wheelbarrow up a hill. Say no.” [00:38:52]
“If you can, just get quiet and ask and just think. Think about who you want to be with.” [00:39:50]
“Keep doing what you’re doing. Keep juggling those balls. But just throw a new ball in that’s where you’re going. And when you throw that new ball in, you need to get rid of something behind you.” [00:43:09]
“Get the courage to do the thing that you know you need to do and you know you don’t want to do it.” [00:44:46]

About Tim Rhode
Tim would tell you that he got off to a slow start. After growing up in the rural town of Portola in Northern California and barely graduating high school, Tim Rhode found himself at the age of 25 working as a grocery clerk with two young children to provide for.
He eventually found his “niche” selling real estate; and from 1986 to 2000, he sold over 2,500 homes and from 1997 to 2006 he invested in over 100 properties. Tim focused on saving money, keeping his expenses low, and playing solid “financial defense” which allowed him to basically retire, and he was financially free at the age of 40.
Not wanting to play hike, bike or ski all day, Tim threw his energy into his true passion: helping people thrive and live their most fulfilling life. He founded the nonprofit 1Life Fully Lived to help people of all ages gain the tools and skills they need to thrive and also co-founded GoBundance, a high-level mastermind, with David Osborn, Pat Hiban and Mike McCarthy to help healthy, wealthy, generous people lead epic lives. We have a women’s tribe now!
Tim has also authored and co-authored numerous books such as Tribe Of Millionaires and The Quitters Manifesto and has been featured on a variety of podcasts and media outlets. He now lives near his children in the High Sierras with his wife and dog.
