Key Takeaways

• In the midst of all of that low, I do believe that you shouldn't just get over your obstacles. Use them as that step up to the next level.
• As you shift from solo entrepreneur to having a team, your core values are important, and they absolutely influence, but they're not the business.
• It's important to have a place where you can listen in on some of the challenges that people are facing because sometimes those same challenges are the ones you're facing too.
• When you're in your calling and doing what you love, you truly will feel it
• I wanted to become as fully educated and how I can be the best version of myself.
