How do I use technology? Because technology doesn't get COVID". - Tim Elliott   "I think that we all come into this thing with a little bit more education, with a little bit more experience than we did the first time. It's a different variant, but the reality is the same thing." - Tim Elliott   "The biggest fear we have as individuals, as business owners, and as leaders is fear of the unknown." - Tim Elliott   "One of the big takeaways from it is, as a business owner and as a person as well, we don't have to make those knee-jerk changes in our personal life or professional life. We can make those incremental changes and continue to project and see this pandemic as if it continues to come forward at us." - Davin Marceau   "Unfortunately, the groups of people that are gonna be hurt most by this whole COVID thing are the people that work with their hands, work in factories that produce things because business owners are going to look at automation." - Tim Elliott   "Be the leader. Take care of your people. You have to be able to fight through the fog, fight through the haze, and fight through the noise that we see on social media or regular media and be able to make those decisions that are going to ultimately lead your family and your business to success." - Davin Marceau     Visit ACCESS EFM: Website Facebook LinkedIn Twitter   Click here to listen with Access Points Podcast
