    • Hacks to take away:

    • Find a place to tell all of your secrets.  Your secrets will hold you back.
    • Act in alignment with yourself so you do the things that you’re interested in and passionate about.  When you do, you will become so happy and so fulfilled that you become radiant.
    • As an entrepreneur, your business, your creation, is a reflection of you.  If your business is blocked it means you are blocked in some way.  Keep doing your internal work toward personal growth and then your business will also grow.
    • Your business can’t grow faster than you grow, and it can’t get bigger than you.  Keep working to expand yourself.
    • When you focus your attention on a smaller number of things, you become a lot more powerful.
