Quotable Moments From the Episode
“Go back to your center and find what is important.” - Toa Green
“I know that at the end of all this when I look back and ask myself, ‘What are the things that I accomplished?’, I will look back and really want to make sure that I spent all the time and attention I needed on those kids. I won't ever look back and think, ‘Oh, I wish I had had another store open or I wish I had had half a million more in sales.’” - Toa Green
“Don't be afraid to set boundaries, because when you are working from home running your business and your kids are all up in your face, it's very easy to blur all of the boundaries. I think what has helped me through time and through my progression as a parent and business owner is to really focus on what you can do and set some realistic expectations.” - Toa Green
