Inspirational Quotes
“Everything in life is about the energy with which we show up.”
“The conversation is not about ‘how do I make money,’ it’s more about ‘how do I deal with failure,’ because the money will come as long as you get over that hump of what failure means and you just keep doing it again and again and again.”
“It’s the breaking out of that shell that is, it’s so easy to talk about and we can read all the quotes and read all the clichés, but in that moment of grabbing the hammer and smashing through the shell, it is the scariest thing you’ll ever do and it’s also the most rewarding.”
