You know, it can be hard, it can be stressful at times, but it should still feel good that you're doing it.”“If you teach someone how they learn best, now they lose the fear of new things. They're willing to try new things because they have a process that they can trust.”“I think a lot of businesses, it's hard to tend to your business if you don't know the difference between the flowers and the weeds.”“There's a martial arts principle that just be cautious about adding energy to a system that's not in balance.
