Michael: Give before you try and get, lead with a relationship, and long-term mindset. Deliver value without the expectation of receiving something in return.

Michael: Our success was not necessarily a fairy tale. I've had to hustle. I've had to work very hard. I've gotten up early and stayed up late, had very long days working on the business.

Michael: I don't like to call them failures, I just call them learning experiences. We are constantly testing new things, we're trying new things, it doesn't mean that everything works. In many cases, things don't work. And what's interesting about building businesses and especially from marketing perspective, is you can try things.

Michael: Marketing and building a business takes patience, it takes time.

Michael: I think there's nothing more valuable than talking to somebody or engaging with somebody who's already been where you want to get to, because they can tell you what they've experienced. It doesn't mean that it's going to extrapolate and be 100% identical to what you're going to experience. But you can really get some some great feedback from that.

Michael: I've recognized my intuition tends to be quite accurate.

Michael: I always view things in a positive light, I will think about what could potentially go wrong. And as long as I'm okay with with that, then we'll typically move forward and see how it does.

Michael: Entrepreneurship and building businesses is not a warm blanket all the time. You can have the most expensive cashmere blanket, you know, as you build your business up, but many times you're naked in the cold.

Michael: We're a family business. We look at our clients like family, our values are very much about family, travel and being international citizens

Michael: we take risks every single day. I truly believe that every single person has just immense, you know, extraordinary potential inside of themselves. And typically, the reason that they're not seeing the results they want isn't because of a lack of knowledge or network or skills necessarily. It's their mindset, it's their own selves, right that are holding them back. And if you just start to move towards what you want to achieve you will learn something.
