Tweetable Quotes:

“In sharing goals, I think whether you're sharing with your business partner, your friends, your mentor, whoever, you just add another layer of accountability.” - Ken Wilson

“I think that one thing that's held me back is discomfort. I've been waiting for discomfort to pass… And when that discomfort passes, then it's time. And I don't think I'm ever going to reach that goal, I think there's always going to be a level of risk in leaving your full time job.” - David Schomer

“If you're setting goals, and you're meeting every single one of them, then you're not setting your goals high enough or lofty enough.” - David Schomer
