Notable Quotes

“One of the biggest challenges I see is that, as entrepreneurs, I see people so focused on this destination, they often miss the journey that is entrepreneurship.” - Ben Ivey
“Ultimately for me, it’s being able to consistently impact people online in the same way that I did offline and I’m telling you now, this is a huge challenge. I’ve done so many different Zoom workshops and events recently and I still have not nailed it… and I don’t think I ever will because I don’t feel the same impact-wise as when someone is in front of me… and that’s from the speaking side of things. - Ben Ivey
“We really don’t know what our own realities are. I would 100% say so have fun, relax, go out in nature, away from screens and actually connect with other people. I think that’s one of the best things we need now more than ever.” - Ben Ivey
