Powerful Quotes by Sarah

You’re gonna learn the most about business and yourself in the context of actually doing business because there’s nothing else that’s actually going to put you in the position of growing and learning about yourself like doing business. 

If I’m not feeling like I’m working towards the next thing, if I’m not doing the things that are gonna get me to the next level... I don’t feel good. I feel my happiest when I’m growing and when I’m learning and when I’m being challenged.
