The experience was so powerful that he decided to make a course that helped others enact that same change in their lives.\n- A big part of those core values is thinking hard about what goals you want-- too many people spend years working long hours to buy a beach house for family vacations-- just to get divorced and alienated from their family in the process.\n- Don\u2019t burn your bridges-- Robert invests time and money at Acceleration Partners to make sure his employees leave on the best terms possible in their transition to the next step in their career.\n- Robert is a big believer of action over perfection, and we talk about how that mantra has led him to reach his goal of becoming a best-selling author and not succumbing to his tendencies as a perfectionist.\n\nIf you enjoyed this episode, please leave a review/rating: https://ratethispodcast.com/thepozcast\xa0\n\n#thePOZcast\xa0 is brought to you by our friends at Interseller \u2013 the prospecting + outreach platform of recruiters and sellers.
