Relationships, Patience, and Persistence

“Incrementally believe in yourself and know what you sell is good, and people will come”

• How do you avoid burnout?

  One day a week, completely disconnecting is vital. Create time for yourself because you have to establish your own boundaries

• When things are slow, how do you deal with idle hands?

  Experiment with social media and other tools that can help the business

• How do you manage your grand vision with your current reality?

  Patience. Take a step back, you are doing this by yourself. Making sure you don’t overwhelm yourself being caught up with your grandiose vision
