    Insights into Reinventing Yourself

    You have to balance yourself – spiritually, personally, relationship-wise, and business-wise. You also have to have everybody to have input on that so you can't just reinvent yourself without taking those into consideration. There are times you could screw up and make mistakes in your business. But it's the everyday stuff that matters.

    Advice to Entrepreneurs

    You can do anything you want the way you want to do it. If you had to do it the way other people told you, Uber, Facebook or Amazon would never have been invented. Most of those businesses were built and started during downturns, depressions, and recessions. And some of those greatest companies that you see such as Airbnb and many others all started out of necessity. So what are you waiting for?

    Delegate, Automate, or Eliminate

    Try to get through the five to eight things you need to get done for the day. Then delegate, automate, or eliminate. Also, do the hard things first and don’t wait until the end. Otherwise, you’re just going to be putting it off. Block off a couple of hours in the morning that no one can mess with.
