TAKEAWAYS:
> Jennifer\\u2019s definition of having it all is having as much as you want without going crazy. Just because you have access to things doesn\\u2019t really bring you happiness.
> Jennifer talks about how everything springs from your brand. What do you want to be known for? What are you about? Who are you and who are you resonating with? Branding is the way you talk, colors, fonts, subjects and topics are what you become known for.
> To change the way that the world sees you, you have to change the way you see yourself
> People are craving real. As a business owner, you can transfer your brand by being real and authentic and really think about what you stand for.
> Jennifer mentions a strong quote from a book called Don\\u2019t Die With Your Music Still in You which says-\\u201cThere are no new messages, there are only new messengers\\u201d. She reminds us that our unique perspective is all that matters.
> The only way to get what you want is to get clear on what that is. To get that clarity, you need to talk it out with someone who is willing to let the conversation go where it needs to go.
> Jennifer believes that a sense of community is important especially through doing group video calls. She feels it\\u2019s important to see each other\\u2019s face.
