You can't do that. You have to constantly find ways to fill your cup up because, for entrepreneurs, your cup is always going to get poured out, and you've got to fill it back up."  "There are always opportunities to learn. You have to have your radar up and look for opportunities to learn and grow."  "Signing up for a program, listening to a podcast, or reading a book doesn't do anything for you; you have to put in the work."  "Invest in yourself and get better no matter what you're doing." "If we want to be great in business, it actually starts at home. It starts with the relationships we have at home. And if we're not doing those right, our businesses will never be as great as they can be ever."  USEFUL RESOURCES: https://grantbaldwin.com https://thespeakerlab.com https://www.instagram.com/gbaldwin/  https://www.instagram.com/thespeakerlab/  https://www.facebook.com/grantbaldwin  https://www.facebook.com/officialspeakerlab  https://www.linkedin.com/in/grant-baldwin/  https://twitter.com/grantbaldwin  https://twitter.com/thespeakerlab  The Successful Speaker: Five Steps for Booking Gigs, Getting Paid, and Building Your Platform (https://a.co/d/fDMEop1) CONNECT WITH JOHN Website - https://thejohnhulen.com     Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/johnhulen     Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/johnhulen     Twitter - https://www.twitter.com/johnhulen     LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnhulen     YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLX_NchE8lisC4NL2GciIWA     EPISODE CREDITS Intro and Outro music provided by Jeff Scheetz - https://jeffscheetz.com/
