Quotes from the show:

  • “When we make the change, sometimes it shifts the ground around us.” –Elayne Fluker Support is Sexy Ep. #754
  • “People are always projecting onto us because they are filtering your dream and your vision through their own experience and their own lens.” –Shani Godwin Support is Sexy Ep. #754
  • “The vision was good. I just needed to act in faith, trust, and walk toward it. I didn’t need to convince people. I didn’t need to get them to accept it. I didn’t need them to understand it. Now I’m much more of an I-can-show-you-better-than-I-can-tell-you person.” –Shani Godwin Support is Sexy Ep. #754
  • “It’s okay to fire a client if they’re not the right fit. And it doesn’t have to be hard, and it doesn’t have to be unhappy, doesn’t have to be ugly. But it is okay to acknowledge when a fit is there or when it isn’t there. I tell people to recognize that not all money is good money, and all relationships aren’t good relationships.” –Shani Godwin Support is Sexy Ep. #754
  • “Happiness for me was the better way to measure my success.” –Shani Godwin Support is Sexy Ep. #754
  • “So many of us are showing up tone-deaf because we’re still trying to sell the same thing the same way but just do it on Zoom… If you’re not pivoting, your business is actually already dying.” –Shani Godwin Support is Sexy Ep. #754
