“Basically, any opportunity that I can have to teach and empower people those are the things that I love to do just to see the change and the difference that takes place in their lives.”
Brooke’s Words of Wisdom
“Working with somebody helps a tonne because entrepreneurs tend to be very excitable, but it’s like ADD on crack like they have a new idea everyday and their going to go do this, no, their going to go to this, oh, their going to go do this now, and their not really thinking about things in terms of systems and operations and income and structure.”
*Income does not equal lifestyle. You need decide what you want your final destination to be and then work backwards from there.
*Most business owners are perfectionists and control freaks that don’t know how to delegate tasks.
*If you plan to be an location independent professional start your business now (even if you have a full time job) and then transition to an overseas location later.
Are you an aspiring entrepreneur or entrepreneur? Are most business owners control freaks? (i am:))
