  • The power of innovation, bootstrapping, and selling before you build

    Top 3 Takeaways

    1. Merge your passion with a proven business model—success comes from doing what you love, but only if there’s real market demand.

    2. Package and sell your expertise: The fastest path to more income is often leveraging what you already know and are great at.

    3. Relationships matter—what you know gets you started, but who you know takes you to the next level.
