Notable Quotes:
“The highs are high, and the lows are low [in sales], and that’s really what sales is.
You just have to think about the reward at the end of it.”
– Manvita Nielson
“I think there’s never a perfect time when you feel like you’re ready. You just
have to do it.”
– Manvita Nielson
“Even when I’m doing my job, I have to make sure that I’m pushing past that barrier
because I always am going to want more for myself and I don’t want to be the one
getting in the way of myself.”
– Manvita Nielson
