The best-made plans are always apt to change whether we want them to or not. Right out of school, we sometimes start our lives with a mission to have a predictable and perfect life, only to come up short. Twists and turns are inevitable, but we always end up where we’re supposed to be, following a path we couldn’t have predicted better for ourselves. Habit-stacking is the art of combining your current habits with the ones you want to start. Habits are more reliable than resolutions because while they take time to form, once you do create them, it’s harder to let them fall to the wayside. As a result, habit-stacking can transform your life and set you up for success.
There are distractions we all face in entrepreneurship because sometimes entrepreneurs get so focused on going hard on their businesses that they forget their families. That’s why it is so important to focus on your family throughout the process of building your business. Time blocking and the importance of making it non-negotiable are equally important.

Important Quotes:
“You have to treat your accounts like a publicly-traded company and keep money moving. Prime can’t wait, so you have to move now! Setting up automation will help you with this.”
“You have to make decisions at the most uncomfortable awkward times.”
“We are going so hard that you forget about your family a little bit. You start figuring that I got to spend time at home or I’m not going to have a family. You start figuring out that balance. We want it so bad in the beginning but you got to take care of your family and health too. Otherwise, there’s no point in being successful making all this money.”
“If something really goes bad in your business, just take a deep breath and look for the solution.”
