Notable Quotes

● That's one of the things that I'm good at, I can see the opportunities that other people cannot see for whatever reason. That has helped me, a person from a poor background, run a few businesses independently.

● If it's business in your life or with other people, you have to say committed regardless of what comes next because you will never be prepared enough. You're never going to know what happens around the corner. What you can do is predict and get prepared that way.

● The key to this is to control how you spend your time because the more accurate you are and how you understand exactly where your time goes, the easiest for you to get more to optimize that time.

● I believe that the work-life balance is not about 50/50, I believe it is that you have to be 100% committed to everything, so when you have your business time, you're 100% in business time; when you are in a family you are 100% in the family. That's work-life balance.

● To succeed in sales, it's important to understand the difference between what customers need and what they want. By understanding their desires, you can make them happy with their choice, and they'll be more likely to spread the word to others.
