What it means is that we're not giving ourselves enough credit.” - Teresa Kitchens “I love the book, it really gives us so many examples even at the end when she puts it all together, of people who went on out and they took one step. And that one step illuminated the next step that they wanted, which then illuminated the next step that they wanted, which then illuminated the next step that they wanted.” - Teresa Kitchens Resources Mentioned: Contact Teresa Kitchens Sterling Insurance Group Book: Overcoming Underearning: A Five-Step Plan to a Richer Life
