Quotes with Stacey Danheiser:
• “I got to the point where I questioned what I was doing. I realized that I was selling every single day. And I decided that since I was selling this much internally, I might as well just start my own thing. And that's what I did. That was the impetus for starting my thing.” (4:16-4:32)
• “What I realized on this journey is that I needed a company brand and I needed a personal brand.” (6:17-6:30)
• “I know that that's really the next stage. For me, that's really the breakthrough piece of the business you have, how do you start talking about your internal struggles, and your external struggles, and that's what connects people because they're like, ``Oh, they're human, they go through all this stuff.” (14:11-14:26)
• “My mantra is to always be open to learning. When I think of learning, it's not just consuming information and knowledge, but being able to act on that and experiment. The only way we continue to grow is to realize learning does not stop when school ends. It is a lifelong journey.” (33:32-33:55)
• “I think personal branding has given me an avenue to spread the word and create awareness for what I'm doing.” (20:26-20:32)
