TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:

  1. Stay the course, figure out what’s wrong, and correct it quickly enough before it’s too late.

  2. Persevere, keep putting yourself out there. Sometimes just one buyer is all it takes for a breakthrough.

  3. Just say yes and figure it out later.

  4. Never settle.

  5. Life is too short to be unhappy. If you aren't satisfied, make a change.

  6. The hardest part is taking initial jump. Once you leap off that ledge, there’s no going back.

  7. Work with someone who will join you in the trenches and fight with you during the hard times.

  8. Make sure your product or service can stand on its own without the brand - because brands are trends. They come and die.

  9. The worst day at your dream job is still tons better than best day at your day job.

  10. You can fool everybody in the world, but you can’t fool the man in the mirror.
