QUOTES
- That question that you asked it’s almost the reason why I’ve written this book - to share a journey and hoping with the intention that other people will ask themselves that question if they have the courage, what would they do.
- I always wanted to build my business to support my values, and one of my top values is freedom. So if i have the freedom to go home to switzerland and travel a lot without feeling trapped then that’s the right business to build.
- Non-attachment is not that you can’t own anything but it’s that nothing owns you. You don’t want to be owned by stuff or emotions or certain outcomes. Especially now in times of uncertainty, if we can embrace more non-attachment to outcomes that we can’t control it’s a lot smoother to ride through this crazy roller coaster right now.
