Episode highlights:

• Specialization is important. It’s really hard to run a lot of businesses at once. Find 1 thing that you’re really good at and double down on that. 
• Becoming a thought leader - become an expert in your desired subject matter. Say something unique and be authentic. Put content out there. 
• Don’t be the best version of someone else. Be the best version of yourself.
• Become a good listener. Listen more than you speak. 
• Is it a good idea to work with family?
• You need to be clearly focused on the right priorities and vision in order to move your business forward. 
• Don’t forget to focus on cashflow and revenue. 
• You can’t do everything on your own. In order to scale a business you need to hire good people. 
• Work on your business. Not just in your business. 
• When you’re starting out, take your lumps early and learn as much as you can.
