Back when I first dove into the online business world, I wasn’t sure to be totally honest. I secured a job with Laura Roeder…because she had a business I could honestly see myself running

Key Quotes from the Episode

“…you have to leave walking out as a CEO, as I’m a CEO, and I’m going to behave and hold myself to a higher standard than that because they may be a referral partner.”

“Whatever the plan is, as long as you make one and you get other people to help you with it, then you’re setting yourself up for success.”

“Getting other people on board, having them feel like they’re part of the business. That is the way you build confidence and trust in what you’re doing.”

“If it were easy, everyone would do it.”

“What can you do to solve a problem that really just pisses you off and be part of the solution?”
