When business started difficulties overcame:
“the difficulties were really clarity. Didn’t start out wanting to own a business however as I was working in the classroom I knew that I wasn’t going to do this for ever. I knew that there was something inside of me that just wouldn’t allow me to come to the same place every day at the same exact time to do the same exact thing that somebody else told me. I needed to be a creator, I need to have a place for my ideas to come to life in some way. And I felt that, I knew that early on but I didn’t know how to explain it.

Other Quotes From the Chat with Robert Kennedy III:
- “hire before you think you’re ready. A lot of times you think you got to save a certain amount of money, I have got to be at a certain financial status, I have got to be at a certain place before I can hire someone and in the meantime I will just hustle and burn the midnight oil and get everything done. When you do that things fall in the cracks because you are just one person. There is no way that one person can effectively grow a business”
- “every day makes me uncomfortable. If I’m going to grow then I’ve got to be uncomfortable. If I’m moving in comfort every single day then it means I’m not learning and it means I’m not growing, it means I’m not stretching at all”
- “you have got to get comfortable with being uncomfortable in order to grow”
- “one of the things that makes me better is having margin in my life. By margin I mean getting up early before the rest of the world is awake and having some time to process what my day is going to be like”
- “simple actions repeated over time create great results”
