Notable Quotes:

"Not every business will look the same, and that's okay, because everyone's journey and experiences are unique, and relating yours to someone else's is always a bad idea, always the only person, and you've heard me say this before, you should ever be comparing yourself to is yourself of yesterday, last week, last month, last year."

"Rest does not mean failure. It's about understanding that there's times to sprint and times to slow down, and both are very necessary for growth."

"Dream. I want to give you that power to dream, and I can't stress this enough, but a big portion of this is going to be delegation."

"Balance is possible, but it looks different for everyone. And so I think a lot of people actually fail or feel like they're failing this, because they don't actually sit and stop and think about, what does that look like for me?"

But if I were to ask you what it would be doing in five years from now, you're like,

I have no idea.

I would have no idea that I would be in the living, the life I'm living. If you asked me this in 2019, okay, it is. It is just uncanny to me how things change and how, hopefully we change and grow all of the time. So today, I want to kind of dive into that, and I want to make you finish strong, rest easy,
