QUOTES

• "I do recommend that most business owners start out with an S-Corp as soon as possible. As soon as they're making revenue, making bank, it's definitely gonna help you save on your self-employment taxes." - Laurie Chen
• "One of the core beliefs that I have about fractional employees... is that they also take the mental load of those things that you just don't know how to do." - Alexander Mair
• " My hope is that any business that takes over a revenue operations department built by Fabricant will have a very quick transition period and will allow RevOps leaders to more quickly and effectively transition from remediation to acceleration. If we do that, that's a pretty good outcome." - Alexander Mair
