When business started difficulties overcame:
“number one was just believing in myself, believing that I could do it. It’s nice to go on Instagram and when you see these people that have started successful businesses.

Favourite Quote:
“Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.” Steve Jobs

Other Quotes From the Chat with Trevor Oldham:
- “I would say definitely shorting the learning curve would have to be hiring a coach. That’s probably being the number one thing”
- “even if you put in an hour or two a day you are looking at 5 to 10 hours per week. Over a month that’s 20 to 40 hours per month – a part-time to full-time working week of you working on the side hustle. And then when you compound that over a year that’s a lot of time that you are working on your business and it’s just going to add up over time. And you have just got to keep with it and keep putting the work in every day whether you feel like it or not”
- “I found that for me personally when I pay for something, I find the value in it”
