Successful entrepreneurs often have a unique energetic way of being that sets them apart, allowing them to navigate challenges with ease.

"The moping around that humans do is entirely of our own creation, it's of our own intellect."  

"There's people with amazing ideas and amazing concepts who just lack the how do you go from a job or a business that's not working for you into something that's profitable, where you're out there lit up, inspiring others, providing solutions.”
