BEST MOMENTS
"I think the biggest problem with the job that I do is it's all the elements to it. So you can design a project but you've actually now got to deliver."
“What I really liked that you said then as well was you're creating a virtual team with the different projects even though it's not necessarily a team in a traditional sense."
“Don’t underestimate the business side of it because otherwise you just end up if you treat it like a hobby it will pay you like a hobby."
This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.
