Other Quotes From the Chat with Makayla Ervin:
- “businesses do not just get lucky to get to the top… It is just the ones who follow a system and have a method to their madness and who do decide to go all in with their business and to keep working and not take no for an answer”
- “having the discernment to be teachable, to soak up education but also to trust yourself… To know how to marry the two between being coachable and being grounded in who you are so that you are moving in a direction with the big decisions and with the small decisions towards something that feels most authentic to you. Because if you fall out of alignment it becomes really weird for people watching. I think people can feel that when you are acting out of alignment or out of authenticity. So, I think it’s very important to be somebody who is willing to learn, to be a student but also to be connected to self and to know what feels good for you and to trust that and to move in that direction ultimately”
