Key Quotes:

“I always say the things that I think will help the most people. I always wanted to be authentic to myself in terms of shutting things down, that I feel are no longer necessary, even if it costs me money or whatever.” - James Altucher
“Personal branding became this big thing over the past 10 years. I want that perception to be as close to reality as possible. And then if you succeed, you succeeded because of who you are. Your authentic message helps the world and has a better chance of not only helping people, but surviving for the long term.” - James Altucher
“Everybody's got problems, no matter how much of an expert you are in anything, even keeping yourself motivated. Sometimes you're just not motivated. Sometimes you're burnt out, and it's a hard thing.” - James Altucher
