3 Key Takeaways

  1. No amount of strong systems and processes can uphold your business if you don't have a strong why. When storms come, you need both.
  2. Re: "Pushing through no matter what" — Most times a big proposal is made and rejected, it's due to timing and form. Your proposal may not be declined in perpetuity. It might just be that the timing and form need to change.
  3. Success is often measured in only the external world. A better definition of success should come from clarity on your calling.

  2. "I'm not too worried about the opinion [of others]. I'm not moved by the opinion of how I'm received...because I know the place that it comes from." — Natalie Mills

  3. "This life is short. The contentment and validation that we are truly seeking comes only from Christ." — Seth Buechley
