Quotes: 

“I wanted to go into studio ownership differently than I had seen my previous bosses do because I wanted it to be my career; I didn't want it to be a little blip in my life.” [Nicole, 5:07]

“Being an entrepreneur in any sort of way requires a certain level of belief in yourself, a certain amount of risk tolerance. I think that’s something that we all need to possess, because you’ve got to have a thick skin and you’ve got to take the successes and the failures.” [Nicole, 7:23]

“Trying to get more butts on mats or more bodies through the door, is in a lot of ways like lighting your money on fire. Most people think that they just need more volume. Sometimes that is true, [but] most of the time what they actually need is to keep the clients they have.” [Nicole, 13:38]

“Sales are about relationships. People need to know, like and trust the people they're doing business within order to say ‘yes’ with their dollars.” [Nicole, 21:01]
