(28:15)   “It is obviously good to have your team meetings every so often…every quarter or every month whichever you prefer and just to ensure again everyone is one the same page.”   * Motivation (32:32)   “Obviously, we need to make sure that we stay motivated to be able to motivate the rest of the team.”   * Being Confident in Yourself (35:30)   “Everyone has this little demons in the mind that likes to plant these seeds but again working on that to ensure that you’re keeping that under control and believing that you can do it. ”   For all the links, visit the show notes page: Click here!   This Episode is brought to you by:
