BEST MOMENTS

02:35 - 💬 “It all boils down to one thing, and that’s prioritisation.”

03:04 - 💬 “The systems aspect is more difficult, I think, to sell to yourself in the short term.”

05:48 - 💬 “If you build your business to a point where it's profitable, or you've got money in the bank, or you know it's got good revenue, so you can afford just to take your foot off the gas for a few months.”

06:16 - 💬 “If you can do that and, as I say, take the gas just long enough to get that stuff done, then when you put the pedal back down, you don't get totally overwhelmed.”

07:05 - 💬 “It's really about convincing yourself that actually going a little bit slow, creating the systems will ultimately give you a far higher return than just getting the next deal in right now.”
