So, I don't need to wait until I have all this liquidity around these things to start investing.” — Dr. Erica Jordan-Thomas  “Change is creating a sense of urgency. ln order for me to have even thought of the idea of a business or thought of something different, I have to have a reason to want to change my current reality. So, there has to be some level of urgency that [will] propel me to do something different than what I'm already doing.” — Dr. Erica Jordan-Thomas  “When you're in fear, [it] is a sign that you need to increase your knowledge. It is not a sign that you need to stop or that is a no, it just means that you need to increase your knowledge.” — Erika Brown  GUEST RESOURCES:  Dr. Erica Jordan-Thomas  IG | @e_jordanthomas LinkedIn | @erica-jordan-thomas-ed Facebook | @EJTConsultingLLC  Podcast | @7-figure-educator RESOURCES:  Erika Brown IG: @erikabrowninvestor LinkedIn: @erika brown Wealth Within Reach is produced by EPYC Media Network
