QUOTES
"We are in our own jar and cannot read the label. That's why it's good to have a business coach to guide you."

18:15 "It doesn't have to be a whole bunch of clients. It can be one or two. And I started out at a very low rate and I started out on the side of my 9 to 5 job after hours on the weekends just to get my foot in the door and get comfortable."

28:18 "The other thing is to just start. Again, I started without even an idea and I was able to, again, take what I've done in my 9 to 5 and transferred over into the position that I've created for myself and create this business."

31:32 "I think there's such power in getting to know someone in a personal way because then they're going to tell their network about you just because they love you. And then if you have one client that you love and you empower them to tell their friends about you, then they probably have friends that are just like them."

36:22 "Everybody scrolls Facebook. It doesn't take a second to go in and just comment on somebody's post especially if it's somebody you felt drawn to and that you enjoy their content and what they're doing. Just say hey and make that connection."

39:24 "Business-building doesn't have to be hard when you have a clear plan and you have a strategy that you're willing to engage in and stick to and one that's right for you. This was clearly the right business model for you."
