Quotes
- “Part of making your company stand-alone is that it can stand without you. And so that is something that I see a lot and I also personally experienced. So I highly recommend keeping that in mind.” - 5:14
- “The business cannot be all about the business owner.” 4:16
- “I wish I had known to take all the advice that's out there, and there's way more now than there was when I started in business, and take it all with a grain of salt. What works for one person may not work for you. So really looking at options and being open to new things, but also knowing that what your path is, is your path.” 10:08
