KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• Rest for our body and brain is necessary to create fresh new thoughts and ideas.
• Plant seeds with your ideas and stay consistent. Things don’t always happen overnight- but can become a success over time.
• Diversifying your income and creating new revenue streams isn't something that will happen overnight but can be something that will come to fruition in the future for you- it’s important to keep working on it. 
• Creating boundaries with clients is important to keeping that work/life balance and not opening your door to be contacted at any hour. Creating a contract and pricing system will help with those client relationships.

Some angry guy with road rage just yelled out his window “I’m gonna make your life a living hell!” I yelled back “Thanks, but I’m not looking for a relationship right now.”

Go to the gym enough and the weights don’t get lighter; you get stronger. Take action enough and things don’t get easier; you get consistent. Stresses in life don’t get less stressful; you learn how to handle them better. Keep getting 1% better. Every day.
