Key Takeaways:
- Involving yourself with the right business groups can give you a wider view of what’s possible in the world. Russ went from being chained to in-person meetings to a business in the online space.
- To map out where you want to go next, ask yourself what you need to do to get there and be willing to course-correct if you’ve gotten off of the path.
- By leveling up your own personal skills, you can build a better business and be of more value to others.
- The key to setting your future state is working on your present state. A good way to do this is to make a list of the real things you want and then determine who you need to work on becoming today to set yourself up for what you want.
- Dedicating yourself to the process of self-improvement not only benefits you, but also your business, and the other people in your life.
