My guesting on Cash Flow Diary Podcast was a blast! Below is my take away on this episode:
"Quit listening to your negative voices. Don’t be around people that are stealing your thunder, get around people that are encouraging and edifying you. You may have to get rid of some of your friends, you can’t fly with the eagles when you are running with the turkeys. Don’t let anyone steal your dream or tell you you can’t do it."
