BEST MOMENTS

"I will never regret doing this because I feel that nothing would have ever changed because I have tried so many things to have a more income."

"It's even scarier staying still and nothing changing. And I would bring my daughters here, which I already have bought one. And I hand on heart would just say, do it because it is life changing."

"I think it actually helped like not having the money because like how you train us. So sometimes money can be a distraction."

"Don't wish for no problems, wish for the ability to handle bigger ones."
