QUOTES:

“The one thing I would say is no one teaches you how to run a business. It’s something we’re all learning on the fly."

"For those of you guys and gals that are just getting started, or maybe even five or six years in, but feel like you’re spinning your wheels, I think we’ve all been there and in some way shape or form are still there."

"We’re not going to all have the same strengths."

"There’s going to be ups and downs. Just try to implement a new thing every couple weeks to get your team on board. At the end of the year, you can say ‘I did this, this, this,’ and we had a better year because of it."

"We’re all going through the same struggles, so don’t feel alone."
