You can say yes to the clients you want. You can say no to the clients you don't want. That kind of selectivity is going to allow you to enjoy it.” - Sean McCabe   “My day job allowed me to do things I wouldn't have otherwise been able to do in my business.” - Katie Hunt   “If you're looking for ways to take responsibility for your life and where you're at? You can find ways to do that. If you're looking for ways to find excuses and say why it's not your fault, you're also going to find that.” - Sean McCabe   “Passion is what allows you to keep going when you encounter resistance.” - Sean McCabe   “Success to me would be getting to do what I want, when I want, where I want, on my terms.” - Sean McCabe   LINKS: SeanWes Community Overlap Book CONNECT: Website: https://www.seanwes.com Facebook: https://facebook.com/seanwes Instagram: https://instagram.com/seanwes Twitter:  https://twitter.com/seanwes Youtube: https://youtube.com/seanwestv   JOIN THE TSBC FAMILY: Do you want to scale your business and add new revenue streams?  Are you ready to get a handle on your cash flow and tuck money away for retirement?   Maybe you are interested in increasing your visibility and fine-tuning your marketing outreach?  Perhaps you have a team that you want to nurture or need help building your team?
