The greatest lesson I learned from Amy Porterfield, hands down, is the courage to start anew if you have to. Her exact line I think was I was willing to burn it all down. And that brought a antagonistic partner to the table to negotiate. She was able to stand in her strength and that's what gave her the power and she was willing to start anew. Interestingly, that business, once it was negotiated and she acquired it, she built it significantly. And now starting a brand new business, you're about to meet a powerful entrepreneur in Amy Porterfield. Enjoy becoming self made.
