Show Notes

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- We have to push ourselves to leave our comfort zones if we want to find true growth. Sometimes that means leaving the places we know and feel comfortable in, but the growth you experience by being more adventurous is invaluable.
- When you find yourself in a new place and in the middle of a new culture, it's always best to embrace it as fully as possible. Be humble and be yourself, listen, learn and adapt.
- To break away from one's past in pursuit of your dreams can be a tough call, but we need to remember that the life we're given is ours to live. Never be afraid to follow the voice of your heart when it tells you to hit the road in pursuit of your dreams.
- Making changes in business should always be a team effort. You have to lead from the top, but never discount the voices of your team, and keep them involved whenever you can.
