“I think when I got to that point of having pride and understanding that I accomplished my visual language and I was ready to go to that next step, that’s when I gained that confidence boost.” (14:40) (Sam)
“In order to have that manifestation happen, start with something simple – something you can accomplish on a daily or weekly basis. Set that standard for you and set aside time for you to accomplish that goal.” (18:56) (Sam)
