BEST MOMENTS

 "We've made our wealth through buying and selling bricks and mortar businesses. And then in GFC, back in 2008, we actually had our first child and we decided to stop doing a bricks and mortar business and work from home." 

"That's a really good story because that's exactly when we had the kids and everything. We didn't want to deal with end customers and we don't on our website except through eBusiness Institute what we do here." 

"The main thing is learning how to do good due diligence and learn how websites go together and then learn how you're going to renovate it or run the website."

"To build on what you said, one of my maybe biggest business mistake is not to have an email list. This goes way, way back." 

 "Success at the end of the day in any part of life, whether it's happiness, health, or wealth, it just comes down totally 100% to mindset."
