EP43 - Daily Mantras from Winnie the Pooh

Life is not just about business. You can’t enjoy all the fruits of your labour unless you take time off occasionally to smell the roses. It's important to take a step back and enjoy life from time to time. This is one of the many brilliant nuggets we came up with while recording this episode that consist of our top 20 favorite quotes from the book ‘The Complete Tales of Winnie The Pooh’ written by A.A.Milne. 

The quotes from this book are so simple and yet can allow you moments of soul-searching reflection. They are also considered by many to be timeless because these stories were written almost 100 years ago and yet if you pick any of these quotes and make that your mantra there is so much you can take away from it.  

So, we would like to welcome you to part two of this collaborative episode done with Dhiren Bhatia of Elevated Entrepreneur podcast.  

We hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
