But if you start off a handyman service and you get over 700k in revenue and a couple of helpers, then you have a track record. You can sell that business and then reinvest the proceeds.” - Bryan Clayton“A lot of times, your passion is not gonna be able to pay your bills. I think following your passion can lead you down the wrong path, because a lot of times your passion isn’t economically viable. I think you have to have a passion for success, you have to have a passion for winning and you have to have a passion for making something of yourself.” - Bryan Clayton“Purpose is where Joy comes from. And business can be the vehicle to identify and bring purpose to your life.” Bryan Clayton Resources Mentioned:https://www.yourgreenpal.com/You can connect with Bryan on LinkedIn and Instagram.To know more, you can connect with me on LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter or visit my website https://ephraimglick.com/.
