- “You can’t say ‘when you get time’ you have to make time”
- “Everything you’ve done in life can be incorporated into your business, you need to take everything you’ve learned in life and be able to adopt that”
- “You don’t own social media, they could ban you tomorrow, it’s gone, you don’t own it. You own your website though, you can put on it whatever you want”
- “Your competitors must be doing a few things right, or they would be out of business, so always look out, constantly try to improve yourself by looking at what other people are doing”
