Quotes:

“We put the money in and all of our time, essentially, to get a marketing event ready.” - Joey

“We were making hundreds to thousands of dollars but on the inside, I was just so concerned that the app wasn’t working the way it should, that the developer’s not there. [...]. There were so many variables that could go wrong--that did go wrong, to be fair.” - Joey

“Anyone who’s had a job that they didn’t enjoy doing… You might have been good at it but when you can choose not to do it and you’re forced to, it’s the worst thing ever.” - David

“I feel like I’ve made a better choice. Even if I make less [money], I’m happier being my own boss and being in charge of my own destiny.” - David

Quotes:

“If there’s anything you’ve learned from this initial episode, it’s that we just get into it and we perfect it as we go.” - Joey Xoto

“Anybody that started out in business, I think we all did the same; like I did it as well. When I started, I thought I needed business cards so I bought, like, a thousand business cards. But I literally, like, I probably gave out, like, three. People spend their money on things, they do it on things that you probably don’t need to do.” - Joey Xoto

“When you start out you’ve just got to figure out what is it that you want to get across to your prospect, what is it that they need..” - Joey Xoto

“Everybody has this thought that, I can’t build a business with a launch. I need to get away from launches. I need to build a business that builds itself. And 100% yes, but launches can have a significant impact and should be utilized throughout the entire lifecycle (in a lot of ways).” - Jamie Garside
