Quotes:
“Entrepreneurship is a completely 100% experientially learned skill. You can read books, watch videos, or take courses—and those aren’t bad; you can and should do them. But to really get it, you just have to be in your business, do something, and take action.” – Ben Pyle
“Anytime you break out of your typical routine and do something new—whether it’s traveling to a new country, visiting a new state, or even starting something like a yoga class—I think it’s always really healthy for the brain.” – Ben Pyle
“Mistakes are part of entrepreneurship, so you just gotta accept it.’” – Ben Pyle
