Quotes
"When we heal our hard money wound and we recognize that it's not about trading effort for income, it's about trading impact for income, then we start to orient differently."
"Cultivate your inner environment, decide that every single day, no matter the external circumstances, you can find something to feel joyful about."
"Entrepreneurship is a pretty unique personal development vehicle that most of us don't realize until we start doing it.”
"When we can get back to more of that understanding that money is a resource and that it really is independent of us as a human being and our contribution to the planet, the cleaner the energy becomes, and then we're better able to position ourselves to make more."
