There are many parts of you. Some of you put the wrong part in charge of your business. It might be a perfect part for something else. Like, I've got a part that would want to please everybody all the time. I grew up as a pleaser, and that was a wonderful thing in many ways, except it made me constantly focused on what was going on and pleasing other people rather than knowing in my center what was right.

So I had to learn to put a different part of me in charge of the business.
