Tweetable Quotes:

• “How are you budgeting your time? If we really believe that time is money, how are we going to spend it?” – Brandon Smith
• “If you tolerate average, if you tolerate status quo, if you tolerate just winging your schedule, winging your day just waking up and be like, oh, we’ll see what happens today. You deserve the results.” – Brandon Smith
• “If we don’t know what balance is, we live life out of balance. But balance is so key to figure out because we balance our checkbook, we balance our tires, we balance our portfolio. You fall over if things are unbalanced. And so we’ve got to be better at balancing our time. And again, the only way to do that, intentional living.” – Brandon Smith
