Notable Quotes:

[00:01:15] “People are increasing prices because their profit margins are shrinking because inflation and employee wages are going up.” [00:01:23]

[00:02:16] “When it comes to reducing your costs, a lot of people need to look at their bottom line, they need to look at things like where are you spending money, where are you not getting your return on investment? You should get a return on investment on everything.” [00:02:29]

[00:02:56] “I do not want you paying someone to do something for 10 hours that could be really done in 2 hours. Stop complicating it.” [00:03:04]

[00:04:40] “If you have the right systems and processes and the right questions and the right onboarding for clients, you don't necessarily even need a consultation, but let alone you could do a virtual consultation, you actually could be pretty effective.” [00:04:58]

[00:06:44] “2020 changed you know us all and the dogs and the humans started really spending a lot of time together and they the humans kind of became codependent on the dogs to the point they don't ever want to leave them alone. And it has caused these adverse behaviors that almost need to be untied.” [00:07:01]
