In an interview with Patrick Bet-David, while answering a question from a young fan, Tyson gave crucial advice to aspiring entrepreneurs. According to Tyson, one must refrain from indulging in conversation about a subject matter that they are not well-versed in. To prevent any unwanted consequences, it is crucial to share one’s opinion only if one is thorough with the subject matter. Reflecting along these lines, He stated, “I learned this in life. When we talk about business, never get involved in a conversation you are not a master in. Always get involved in something you are superior in, that you know particulars of, and then everything would be great.” 

He rounded up the answer by reiterating his mantra. “There’s nothing that you can’t do, you know. Impossible is nothing compared to anybody that tries. Nothing’s impossible then, you know. That’s the total belief in yourself: confidence breeds success, success breeds confidence, and confidence applied properly will supersede a genius,” stated Iron Mike.

The crowd lauded him for his advice, and rightfully so. It is safe to say that even in retirement, he finds a way to be of service to the people the same way he did decades ago. Moreover, time and time again, Tyson has not shied away from sharing his words of wisdom, not just business-related but also on a philosophical level. Let’s take a look at the time he shared an inspirational message to his fans.
