- [09:27] Often we don’t have a lot of time in strategy and planning. If you don’t have time in strategy and planning you don’t know where you are going, the path to take you there, or how to lead your team.
- [10:43] If you don’t bring someone else to do some of the fulfillment your business is only going to grow so far. The only way to grow is to add more hours to your day or increase your prices.
- [11:22] When you lead people well they will be able to do the work, maybe even better than you.

- [25:33] Your results will manifest when you lead yourself, your team, your clients, and your legacy. This is your role.
