“Don’t worry. Let go of the worry. Whatever you’re doing is fine, whatever you’re learning today is helping you to become who you’re becoming. I don’t see things as good or bad, they just are. If you don’t like what’s going on do something different. But don’t judge yourself, just keep on trucking and know that whatever you’re doing learn from it and move on. It’s really hard to die, just keep going, and when the fear comes up understand that’s not reality, it’s just your amygdale telling you not to change, and you have to learn to control that fear response because it doesn’t accomplish anything”...[Listen for More]

“Surround yourself with positive people and have a great team of people around you. When I’m with upbeat and positive people, it’s contagious, it’s impossible to feel negative. It’s also a confidence boost to have people around you that believe in you, that share your goals and are happy for your successes. If you surround yourself with people who are jealous or who want you to fail, I believe you will, because it’s a lot easier to believe the negative, and I’ve found that so true being an entrepreneur. Don’t let there be room for negativity in your mindset, hang on to the positive, be positive and it will make a difference. It’s so much more fun being around positive people, if you hang around naysayers and toxic people; it will rub off on you. You don’t have to completely cut these people out of your life but time is precious. Go for lunch with people who are inspiring and cheer you up and get you ready for the next day because they’re the people you want to be with”...[Listen for More]

“Don’t worry about it being perfect. Find your audience, find out what they are looking to buy, craft an understanding of what you are going to sell, and then sell it to them. Take the money then deliver; you still have to deliver if it’s not perfect. Turn out a product that has the basics, get it on the market and see if people are going to buy it. You want to develop things people buy, not things people say oh that’s a great idea, if they aren’t pulling out their credit card to buy it you don’t have good market information”...[Listen for More]

“Focus on impact. All the data shows without exception if you focus on impact and do it strategically the money will come. So forget about the money, focus on impact, so that you can do what you were born to bring the world. If you get all focused on making money you won’t have the life you wanted. I learned the hard way by watching my mother pass away at 59 that life is far too short to settle for less than you truly want in business or in life. So you have to wake up each morning and look in the mirror and ask yourself one question; are you making the impact you want to be making? If not do something that day to make your impact happen”...[Listen for More]
