“just show up, that’s half the battle, just show up. You can’t get intimidated by people that are more successful. It’s just show up. The other piece that goes along with showing up is… A lot of what I do is basic things, I just do basic very consistently. So, it’s kind of consistent persistence. So, I just do the same thing every day and it’s worked for me for the last going on 13 years now. So, show up, stick your hand out shake hands with people, introduce yourself. Everybody puts their pants on the same way regardless of how successful or how much money they have.

I think you really have to assess that and you need to build not only a life but a business to support that otherwise it is just a job. And if you are dreading to go to your business then it is no different than dreading and going to a job in the morning. You need to love what you do and create the life that you don’t need a vacation from – work life integration”…[Listen for More]

“know your audience, know yourself and be decisive in the decisions that you are making currently… What’s the worst thing that can happen…What is failing? The worst thing that could happen if we take that risk… Sometimes it helps I think to know if it’s a risk worth taking. Because if the worst thing could happen is something that we are not really willing to let happen then maybe it’s not. But most of the time it’s like the worst thing that could happen is you fail, we have to shut something down and then we go back to doing it the way were doing before, which helps me assess if it’s worth it. And I feel like most times I like oh worst thing that can happen is really kind of fine. It’s a good reality check and puts things into perspective”…[Listen for More]
