Key Takeaways:

"When people have a vision of where they want to go, they don't know how. They don't know how they're going to get there, but they do believe it's possible. They have a belief in themselves, like an unwavering belief in themselves." - April Meese

"If I'm feeling stuck thinking that I don't have enough options, I need to just get more knowledge and figure it out. And then if I'm feeling overwhelmed, if I'm feeling anxious, I just need to redefine my priorities and come back to that and then make a decision. And either way, with the decisions, you know what they say. You either get the result that you want or you get the lesson." - April Meese
