Notable Quotes:
“I had a mentor share with me years ago that if you want to do something that seems daunting or big, just realize that it’s a lot of small things done well over time. And when those small things add up, they become big things over time.”
– Jesse Rothstein
“You’re going to get rejected a lot in this profession. You’re going to hear ‘no’ a lot. And in many cases, if you’re not okay with yourself, and you’re not self-aware, when you hear no a lot, it’s going to be hard to dust yourself off and pick yourself back up and go get after it again, which is a lot of what sales and life is about. So self-awareness is absolutely critical.”
– Jesse Rothstein
