“I definitely think that the big thing for me was my time management. That’s been something that I consistently work on… and I’m still working on it now… is not taking too much time doing stuff that doesn’t move the needle forward in my business.

Other Quotes From the Chat with Christina Lenkowski:
- “I want to make sure that I am building a business that works for me and my family that I am happy with”
- “What I wish I would have known is it’s not going to happen right away. And I know that might sound like okay so how does that shorten the learning curve for you? But I think that I wouldn’t have spent so much time wondering what I did wrong as opposed to just fixing what maybe didn’t go as well as I wanted and trying out different things”
- “I think it truly is believing in yourself, that you have something to offer this community, this world et cetera. Because times are going to get tough, things are not going to go how you want them to go. I can say with certainty that every single entrepreneur that I know at some point has thought is this really the right move for me? And I think that you have to have belief in yourself and knowing that this is something that you can do and that you are going to bring value into the world”
