Tweetable Quotes:

“What is your time worth?... Is your time worth driving across town to fix a toilet? Is that worth it, versus paying someone else to do it and you can go and focus on work that’s gonna make you $500,000 or $5,000? You gotta think about that.” - Jens Nielsen 

“What can I create? What can I do to go out there and create, for me and my family, some sort of legacy?” - Jens Nielsen 

“If you want an amazing life, if you want to change, you have to step outside your comfort zone… Whatever your comfort zone is, it only gets you as far as you are; if you want to go to the next level you have to change, you have to grow your mindset.” - Jens Nielsen
