And the reason why is, for those of you that aren't entrepreneurs and business owners, you have to understand that we're some of the loneliest people in the world. And the reason why is that we can't ever truly trust anybody. “ - Tim   "When you feel stale, what typically happens is you've reached a point where you as a business owner or an entrepreneur feel like you're not growing, you don't feel like you're getting smarter, and you don't feel like you're getting better." - Tim   "A lot of things that are in your head, they’re giving you problems and the reason you're stale is because the way you're thinking." - Tim   "There were several people in my life throughout the lifecycle of our organization that I've reached out that have really helped me and helped me put things in perspective." -Tim   "Most of the problems we have as humans are what's between our ears. And if you're a business owner, an entrepreneur, a lot of that staleness happens because you feel like things aren't exciting or you feel like things aren't going the way that you want them to." - Tim   "There's nothing that you can do to rejuvenate the passion and the love you have for what you do better than go talk to some customers and ask them what you can do better and how you can make your product, your solution better and tell them, thank you."   "Feeling of staleness is a feeling. Learn how to change it. And the way you do that is talk to someone who's been through it, go see some customers and think through where you really are." - Tim   "If you're the business owner, you're the entrepreneur, fighting fires is something you've learned to do really well, but it's not productive.
