I’ve been receiving some daily “quote actions” from Becky-Joe ChongTim of Kuleana Consulting.

Becky-Joe is a wonderful person who specializes in consulting for small business owners: she also helps set up your systems and processes so that you can enjoy yourself more, make more money, and not get bogged down in things that you don’t want to do (bookkeeping, anyone?). Contact her directly and learn more through her website, www.yourkuleana.com.

Here are some of the quotes I’ve been receiving from her over the last few weeks.
