QUOTES

• “I really wish there was someone like me where I could have just jumped on and buried my head in and really helped grow this business, you know, get a piece and have all this success.” 
• “There's always that person that you could seek out and find and say, ‘Okay, who's doing what I want to do in my area?’ And flat out, ask them how they did it. You know, most people at the top of these respective areas had somebody that at one point helped them.”
• “Be aware that you don't want to be transactional. You want to be reciprocal.”
• “There are so many different books and strategies on the power of positive thinking. But gratitude is a huge play. So if you find yourself being ungrateful, that's probably a very good sign that you need to kind of recalibrate and maybe do yourself a little gratitude list.”
