QUOTES

• "It's not just about getting new clients. It's about being your best self, sharing that with the world." - Laurie Chen
• "Not knowing my numbers and then the lack of processes are probably the two things that have caused me the most grief over a 45-year, approaching certainly, you know, really 50-year span." - Kim Sutton
