EP453: Stephanie Skryzowski - Building Impactful Strategies & Stronger Organizations

“As a business owner, as an entrepreneur, I feel like
there are 50 million things that I want and need to do all the
time. So I find it very easy to get distracted. So I think about
what are the top things that I need to put my attention towards,
what are the biggest things that I want.  I've got this little
sign on my wall up there, ‘Where your attention goes, the energy
flows.’ And that has really helped keep me sort of focused.
”
