Quotables

“I wanna remind everybody that the mindset for entrepreneurship isn’t for everybody and that’s okay.”

“If you don’t build yourself up as a better quality person, your business will fall on its face really fast and you gotta change very fast. Adaptability is one of the biggest traits I see in highly successful people.”

“You might start 3 steps behind, you might also start 3 steps ahead, and ultimately it doesn’t matter. The cards that you were dealt, you need to figure out to use this to the best of your ability.”
