Quotes

"You don’t know what you don’t know right, and when you’re so used to what you’re doing and how you’re running things it can also be very easy to say well this is how we’ve done it, it works fine let’s just keep going because that’s comfortable it’s easier. When you actually take that step back and you have someone else come in, you switch things up, there’s a lot of potential to make things really work in a really powerful way for your business.” [12:14]

“The simplest fix no matter where you are in business, is get used to not keeping things in your head” [18:57]

“We actually get dopamine when we complete things on our to-do list and so that momentum continues to build and you actually will end up getting more done in a faster amount of time, versus just having that big thing sitting there looming over you and being paralyzed on how to actually accomplish it” [34:54]
