Quotes:

\xa0

When you give your inner voice more power than the noise around you than things that go in line with your true values and ideals make more sense and you know what you should be putting your energy towards.

To do something entrepreneurial you need to be able to answer the question, \u201cWhat\u2019s a problem you are going to solve that people want?\u201d

\xa0

\u201cWho you are as an individual is very reflected in the business you will do.\u201d
