QUOTES:

"Figure out what your message is? It is so hugely important and requires clarity. When it becomes clear what your message is, then you get to the point when you discover that it matters because it has to matter beyond you. Because if it's just you and you are the only one who cares about it, it is going to be hard to sell it."

"Your passion changes, but your purpose remains."

"I think passion equals pressure. Like, passion has to be the only thing that I spend my life doing. But the truth is, you are probably going to have multiple passions throughout your life."

"Passion for me is what problem are you passionate about solving for the next 2 to 5 years."

"I would get a hundred No's to get the one right Yes."

"Think about a farmer analogy. Farmers don't measure the result, they measure their actions and so they wake up every day."

"Consistency is the mother of momentum. If you want momentum, then you have to be consistent. That means being consistent even if you are not getting the results you want right away."

"If you want to make a difference in this world you got to keep showing up because, remember, if you are not willing to do it for one person, why should you get a large audience?"
