Memorable quotes: "The most successful people in the world say 'no' more than they say 'yes’. So having boundaries is key? Decide how much money you want to make."  "Niche is rich, and broad is broke. Everyone's marketing too broadly. When I niched down to speak to exactly who I wanted to work with, suddenly my business opened up." "Your money story is what's dictating a lot of the way you're charging right now. How did you grow up? What messages about money did you grow up with? Did you grow up with money, without money? What messages did your parents teach you?"
