Tweetable Quotes:

  • “As I started to work with other people outside the industry, I’m like… this is so much bigger and I want to take advantage of that. So, I decided I’m gonna leave real estate and go into coaching full time. If I’m going to be a coach, I want to be coached by the best.” – Laura Treonze
  • “My business is built word of mouth, I guarantee results. People making more money is a very important result. So, if you’re not reaching your results, I don’t want you in a long-term contract because I’m going to be giving you your money back.” – Laura Treonze
  • “When you start showing people success in certain parts of their life, they start to create and find success in other parts as well. So, let’s not have weight as your goal right now. Let’s work on a different goal so that we can look at the patterns that work there. Then, apply them to weight if you decide at some point you’re committed to that. If you don’t get committed to that, who cares. Stop beating yourself up about it.” – Laura Treonze
