Today is the second half of my interview with interior designer Michelle Lynne of ML Interiors Group.

Tony Robbins is famous for saying that success is 20% mechanics and 80% psychology. When I first heard that, I wondered, what is he talking about?

I understand the mechanics of business, but what does he mean by psychology?

Well, that's what you'll discover today - how your psychology influences your results - whether you are a firm owner now, you plan to one day have your own firm, or you're currently working for someone else.

If you listened to episode 201 that I did back in 2018, you'll remember I spoke with Alex Gore and Lance Cayko, founders of the architecture firm F9 Productions, about a multi-unit, mixed use project they were planning on developing.

Well, they recently sold the last unit on that project and they reached out to me so they could share the update on how the project turned out.

In today's episode, I include the original audio from the interview in 2018 so you can hear the before and after of how they expected the project to go, and how it really went.

Alex and Lance are also the hosts of the popular Inside the Firm podcast where they reveal the behind the scenes how they started and operate their architecture firm. If you aren't subscribed to that podcast, go check it out.
