Memorable Quotes "What I teach people is that practice your maneuvers before you go into battle, before you go into that meeting, so you can see the moves coming. You've got a strategy. That gives you confidence." – Dariush Soudi "You create your own luck by taking your life seriously. You took your business seriously. Now, yes, the vision was to change the world for the better and help people. At the same time, you couldn't do that unless you made this a process, a systemized way." – Dariush Soudi "Stop worrying, because the reality is never as bad as your worry. And your best aphrodisiac is action." – Dariush Soudi Where to Find Our Guest Website: https://dariushsoudi.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dariushsoudiofficial/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DariushSoudiOfficial LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dariushsoudi YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DariushSoudi TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dariushsoudiofficial To stay connected and to learn more about Vishen and Mindvalley, click on the links below:  Website: https://www.mindvalley.com/about YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/vishenlakhiani Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mindvalley/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vishen/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mindvalley Subscribe to 'Mindvalley Membership' to discover 65+ transformational Mindvalley programs – at a surprisingly low annual fee here 👉 https://go.mindvalley.com/NOW  Learn more about your ad choices.
