Wednesday May 10, 2023
Wednesday May 10, 2023
In this episode of the Blue Shirt Leadership podcast, I had the pleasure of interviewing Juanita Kapp, a successful entrepreneur, public speaker, and martial artist. Juanita shares her insights on personal awareness, framing mindset for business success, and when to walk away from a business situation.
Notable Quotes:
"Our mindset is imperative in anything that we do."
"I make sure the people I listen to are people that value me, that love me, that believe in my mission. And if there are outsiders that criticize or that try to impart, I sift it out."
"Our thoughts are very, very powerful things. If we don't disrupt the negative ones, they start to fester. If we don't address them and put them back in the place where they belong, the negative thoughts, they really tend to take over."
