And once you truly start to grasp who you are and your strengths and what value you bring to the world, that's when things start to click" - Tim Elliot   "There are a tremendous amount of people, a tremendous amount of companies and a tremendous amount of entrepreneurs, bosses and managers that will absolutely give you the best lip service that you've ever seen. But they don't mean it!" - Mike Kelley   "To be better professionally, you have to be better personally. And if things aren't great personally, there's only a certain amount of time in your professional life that can be good and that starts to deteriorate." - Tim Elliot   "The bottom line is, there's only so many hours in a day and you have to decide where you're going to invest that time and that effort." - Davin Marceau   "What's tough about the physical side of things is when your body starts to erode, whether it is looks, health, or both, that's going to inevitably begin to erode the mental side.  It is going to inevitably begin to erode your relationships, your spirituality, and all those other domains are going to suffer. Because you don't feel confident in the way that you look or you don't feel confident in the way that you feel." - Davin Marceau   "Once you have a level of knowledge and you have a level of understanding of who you are and how your value fits in the organization, it's not about the hours you spend. It's about the quality of time you spend with the right people to get the things done that you need to get done." - Tim Elliot   "You'll never truly be successful until you figure out exactly who it is that you are." - Tim Elliot   Visit Access EFM: Website Facebook LinkedIn Twitter   Click here to listen with Access Points Podcast
