KEY QUOTES FROM HOFFELD:

On building confidence: “You want to earn your success. You want to earn your confidence. When you put yourself in challenging situations, because any goal is going to be a challenge, you can break that down into little challenges. … I earn my success. You’ll find that your confidence will naturally grow as you push yourself.”

On combating negative events: “One strategy that I created based on the research is what I call reflect and flush. When something negative happens to you … reflect and flush. What can I learn from that? Once I identify a lesson and I think about how I’m going to act on it, then I refuse to think about it anymore because any more pondering on that situation will just pull me down, not build me up.”

On hitting goals: “I wrote down my top seven goals and I have them right in front of me in my bathroom, right next to my mirror. Every day at least twice, in the morning and in the night before I go to bed, I can’t help but to read through and think about my goals because they’re literally staring me in the face.”
