Quotable

“Even with a team, you’re still calling the shots. You still have to lead.”
—Suz Paulinski, The Rock/Star Advocate

“People don’t do it because it’s eas; so what is the real reason that keeps you getting up every morning and going after it?”
—Suz Paulinski, The Rock/Star Advocate

“We allow other people’s actions to dictate what we focus on rather than spending more time learning how to trust ourselves… You can only go down your own path.”
