Quotes:
“The mentor is somebody you are going to go to and brainstorm with but the sponsor is the one that is going to have your back when the doors close.”
“You won’t find out that it is you that needs to change until you sit still and you listen to what is going on around you.”
“Some days it is just harder to stop to meditate, and harder to stop and listen to the birds and write down a few dreams - it’s harder to do that than to just answer emails and return phone calls.”
“First step is realizing what you don’t want to do so that gets you closer to what you do.”
“Ask yourself, what’s going to bring you energy today?”
“Sometimes we are going to get more confused before it becomes clear.”
“We wouldn’t have any stories if we had instant success.”
