You know, money doesn't grow on trees. We're not the Rockefellers. So I always had this adverse relationship with money, I never thought I was worthy of it.” “So I think it's incredibly important to switch that paradigm in your brain to really think about wealth creation, as you know, owning a business and wealth creation rather than working for somebody else.”   Resources and Links: Website Facebook Linkedin Twitter
