Because as a business owner, you have certain strengths and certain things that come naturally to you. And those things that don't, delegate them to somebody else who does it better." "You gain so much freedom and flexibility back in your life if you delegate the things that are not your strengths to somebody else." "Just because you're good at something doesn't mean you have to do it." "Many times how we discover what we're supposed to do comes from a place of pain." "Pain leads to the purpose and then platform." "Whenever we get to the end of our lives, we're gonna remember the experiences and the memories." "You don't learn anything from doing it right. You only learn when you do something wrong." "Time is the only thing that we don't get back. Your time is extremely important."
