Can I quote you on that?

• Don’t get trapped comparing your beginning to someone else’s middle. NJ
• Done is better than perfect. If you wrap yourself up in the perfection of things, you’re never going to move forward. NJ
• We have seasons of push so we can have seasons of rest. NJ
• Yesterday, my kids were being adorable and I didn’t take them to school until 10:30 am. I’ve got that freedom because I’m building my business this way. – Dana
• When you say yes to something, you’re saying no to something else. And when you say no to that non ideal client or project, you are saying yes to margin for better things. – NJ
• Business is about people. The more you can surround yourself with community and invest in relationships, the more your business will thrive. – NJ
• When I start a new project, I take time to think of the effort I’m going to put into a new project vs the return I’m going to get back. – Dana
