So was that an intentional decision or was there something else at play where you went the private university route versus the public university route?.<br/><br/>I taught classes as well as personal trained folks on the side. And I was able to, again that entrepreneur mentality, pay my way through school and what. And I really do look at debt like that, especially as a prison, because it just really hinders your growth.<br/><br/>And your phrase was took what she was good at and decided to turn it into a business. I think there is a broadly applicable lesson there. You and I see the world very similarly and I think one of the things, one of the regular conversations that I have with people on my team is that you should be intentional about taking your desk and at whatever point in time it happens to be, and applying a CEO mentality to your desk.<br/><br/>Growing up, getting fresh fruits and vegetables from our garden and being just very resourceful, cooking everything from scratch, homemade, it taught me a lot of lessons that laid a foundation for me as an adult that has helped me do something like start my own business.<br/><br/>A lot of ways to make an impact. So it's insane how mindset kind of plays into that. So you've set the stage pretty well in terms of where you're at.<br/><br/><br/>Music Credit: Maarten Schellekens - Riviera Follow us at: <br/>www.cascadingleadership.com<br/>linkedin.com/in/drjimk<br/>linkedin.com/in/1lawrenceobrown<br/><br/><br/>
