Other Quotes From the Chat with Wayne Herring:
- “if I had known when I started that the business plan that I had of just speaking to business owners, entrepreneurs, asking questions, getting to know them… If I had known that that was perfectly okay to work more analogue so to speak in a digital world and that people really wanted that connection and they wanted to have a one-on-one conversation… If I had of known that I would not have… I probably wouldn’t have pursued some of the electronic and digital things that I did pursue – advertising and so on and so forth ”
- “I think some of the the secrets to success is more old school and evolved things like journaling, involved things like having a mentor and scheduling certain conversations. So I think slowing down to speed up is the secret of success in today’s world. But it’s not really a secret.”

- “we have to really access why we want to be successful, we have to get committed because we are committed then the how-to will come and we will find the answer”
- “picking the next smallest doable step. I don’t need massive confidence, I don’t need to get into a frenzy of motivation, I simply need to take a small step and take the next small action towards the goal”
