QUOTES

Morgan: "78% of people forget the knowledge that they've learned within a training session after. It's because it's a lot of information. There is really no silver bullet on this because each organization is different. However, what I found to be the easiest is you have to give them structure, frameworks, and systems to implement. I can give you a tip, that's great. But it's not enough." 

Morgan: "Having a grasp on your emotions, and what I like to call keeping a steady mindset, is the biggest gap that a lot of people have because it is hard to get your emotions in check. But that's what's gonna lead you to success." 

Morgan: "There's no one to be upset with but yourself. If you're gonna set an affirmation, you actually have to do the work still. This isn't a genie. This isn't Aladdin." 

Morgan: "Every single thing that you write down, every single thing that you say, feeds into your subconscious. So if you keep telling yourself I'm not good at this, I can't do it and you're like, joking, that actually is detrimental to your success. Because now the subconscious is picking up the 'I can't do this'. So now your conscious is gonna find ways for you not to do it."

Morgan: "I'm just sharing my journey. I'm not coming from the place of 'I'm a guru or expert'. I'm coming from a place of like 'This is my journey and I'm just sharing it and there are results in this journey. But I'm not telling you I'm the best of all time.'"
