Quotes:
- “If habits are their current trajectory that is leading year over year in the wrong direction, then that compounds. So that actually gets worse over time. And so you also want to know the trade-off in terms of that.”
- “One of the things I know with sales is that it is so important to have enough leads to practice and practice and practice getting better at enrollment conversations, and if anyone has ever given you a no, it’s a great opportunity to practice again with that same person.”
- “The only way you know someone is really stepping into their potential is that they are making different choices. They’re making decisions fundamentally different than they have before. So a lot of what we are trying to get in that ‘yes’ is a reconnection to intuition, to potentiality.”
- “People need to be able to see your light in order to see their light if their light is shrouded with chronic inflammation.”
