Powerful Quotes by Jay Fantom

If I wasn’t persistent in following the dreams and the goals that I had set for myself in the very beginning, if I wasn’t persistent in overcoming and moving forward despite the rejection, despite the no’s that came along [with] it, then I probably wouldn’t be where I am today.

If anyone is going through something that they feel like they can’t get out of, just take one more step.

If you want to, your life can be the best that it’ll ever be… or you can run away, you can make your life a living hell.

I’m all for having a vision and a plan, but it’s also understanding that that vision and that plan can change.

When you stop learning, you stop growing, and when you stop growing, what happens next?
