Must-listen moments:
[00:06:11] It really just allows people to have a lot more control over their lives and it allows people to look at themselves and say what are my skills? What are my passions? What am I excited about and what do I have to offer other people that can maybe make me happy and make them happy? And at the end of the day…make a buck off of it, too.
[00:12:04] You've got to have an inner resilience and an inner fire, because no one's going to drive you…being out on an island alone cannot scare you. You've got to be all right with being with yourself and by yourself.
[00:18:09] Being an entrepreneur takes courage, it's scary stuff and you've got to be okay with confronting that scariness or just working, living with it, and not letting it keep you from taking action.
Remember, don’t eat the red berries along the way, be ready to put in the work to make sure operations, marketing, and sales are running as smoothly as possible, and always know your why!
