It’s not about starting something, just to start something. But doing something when it’s right Believe in Yourself A lot of people near and dear to myself did not believe in me in the beginning but your the only one that submerges yourself in the product. I was told that my idea was stupid. I’d never make it, but that just fuels me. Because your mind set and the way you look at life is so powerful as far as getting to that next level. You can truly do whatever you put your mind to it. Have Fun What are you doing if you’re not having fun doing it. Medical sales was a tin of fun, but I lost the passion. I gave up a 40 hour work week to work 80 hours a week.I wouldn’t have changed it for the world, I love my clients, I love the people I’m with. If I could work 200 hours a week, I would.
