Mic Drop Moments:

🎤Trevor at (01:32) - 30 million books sold. That’s incredible.

🎤Sharon at (04:00) - My hand took off across the top of the page and wrote “Why not?” And that is still my philosophy today.

🎤Sharon at (12:38) - Sometimes you have to close the door for another door to open. Sometimes you have to close a door in your life to allow space for new opportunities.

🎤Sharon at (13:28) - When you are out there seeking employment pay attention to who you are, what you want and how you spend your time. Because sometimes you have to close the door for other doors to open. 

🎤Sharon at (15:34) - This is 2009, when we passed the credit card act which prevents credit card companies from soliciting college student bills.

🎤Sharon at  (17:04) - Everybody watching and listening, you are perfect just the way you are. God created you, you are the only one he created like you. 

🎤Sharon at (21:40) - Success comes from combining your passion and your talent with the right association. Finding that association, finding  people can help you open doors to get you where you belong.

🎤Sharon at (21:57) - Taking action. How often do we know what we are supposed to do, we just don’t do it.

🎤Sharon at (22:42) -  Whether you are an employee or a business owner, it's not what you do for your paycheck, it’s what you do with your paycheck.

🎤Sharon at (23:54) - That ‘F’ that I said, we need this called faith. Their ‘F’ is fear. Fear does one of two things, paralyzes us and motivates us. 

🎤 Sharon at (25:02) - Figure out where you are. A lot of times we put our head in the sand and even though we don’t have a job, we are still spending at the same level we were before.

🎤 Sharon at (28:18) - When we get a job, we get comfortable, then we get complacent. Then we have a crisis and that crisis stirs into chaos. And how do we get out of chaos? By becoming curious and creative again.
