TOP TAKEAWAYS
- No where you want to go so quitting is not an option! You need to have it very clear in your head so when those hurdles come, you don’t quit.
- Find balance. If money, health or time is declining, it’s time to make a change and focus on that.
- Don’t let devastation stop you. Let all the bad give you the drive to persevere and keep moving forward.
- Look for what you want and it will show up. If you want success, look for it.
- Set up systems where you are and with what you have. It doesn’t need to be the ideal end goal, just get a system set up and do what you can with what you have.
- Get reps in while you’re growing to handle the bigger months ahead.
- Drop shipping can give you gray hair! Just don’t do drop shipping.
- Don’t hold back because you’re afraid of failing. If you’re afraid, call it out, dismiss it and move forward.
- Pay attention to how much time you’re spending on pre shipment. If you’re doing a lot of work before you can ship products, find a way to go faster. You need to spend time creating sales, not all the other fluffy stuff.
- Look at how many quality control people/machines manufacturers have. More is better.
