I’ll share a few of my favorite quotes from my conversation with Jay below.
Hitting Bottom Before Breakthrough
“I was arrested and spent two nights in jail. That rock-bottom moment became the turning point in my entrepreneurial journey. Sometimes, it takes a drastic wake-up call to push you towards your true path.”
The Entrepreneurial Mindset Shift
“When I realized no one was coming to rescue me, that’s when everything changed. As an entrepreneur, you have to understand that your success is entirely in your own hands. It’s on you to decide what you’re going to do with your life and your business.”
Building Success, One Small Win at a Time
“For entrepreneurs, success is about stacking tiny wins every day. Each day brings its own challenges and opportunities. The key to building confidence and momentum in your business is to consistently do what you say you’ll do, and push yourself to tackle things you’re not sure you can handle.”
