Quotable
“Even with a team, you’re still calling the shots. You still have to lead.”
—Suz Paulinski, The Rock/Star Advocate“People don’t do it because it’s eas; so what is the real reason that keeps you getting up every morning and going after it?”
—Suz Paulinski, The Rock/Star Advocate“We allow other people’s actions to dictate what we focus on rather than spending more time learning how to trust ourselves… You can only go down your own path.”
