Valuable Quotes from our Attendees
Participants shared things they’ve realized in hindsight, as business owners
David Pede
“Remember, you can’t be too hard on yourself. Hindsight is always 20/20. Just try to get laser-focused on what your path is and execute it as best as possible.”
Sara Deacon
“(Things I’ve learned): Playing, trying new things; not being afraid to take risks. Bring okay with what works and what doesn’t. Not needing to be all the things to all the people. Also, getting help. I love learning from the people I’m networking with. Everyone has value to offer. Most people are really eager and willing to share what they know with others who want to know it, too.”
Caryn Willens
“Be flexible, and calm with change.”
Jonathan Heider
“Narrow your menu—find your niche.”
