Key Quotes:

“The cost-benefit of using your time on one thing versus another is something that a lot of people don't pay attention to. Time is a finite resource, you do not have unlimited loads of it.” - Kristi Soomer

“I think the best tip is really just to say no. We say yes to so many things; We say yes, because we either feel obligated to or we think it might be worth our time when in reality, it's not. It's not worth your time, and it's not in alignment with your vision of success.” - Jessica Bledsoe
