Key Points
- Internal inertia and the drive to create are fundamental to entrepreneurship; if you feel that push, you should listen to it and make it the primary voice guiding your decisions.
- Understanding and managing the cost of goods is crucial for business flexibility, allowing for strategic pricing and product offerings that can adapt to changing market conditions.
- Engaging with a community or mastermind group is invaluable for entrepreneurs, as it provides an exchange of ideas, solutions to common problems, and inspiration that can lead to significant breakthroughs in your business.

Notable Quotes:
“In every single capacity, what the human being and brain has created out of absolutely nothing is probably the most powerful enterprise that any of us can actually step into.” - Moana Dixon “There are a lot of other things that I could do for money, but I'm intended to do something more with my hands, with my life, and with my brain than just be a recipient of a system that doesn't necessarily edify what I'm supposed to do.” - Moana Dixon “I just went for it.” - Moana Dixon “Fear is another way of convincing ourselves that we are incapable of doing something we haven't done. And being excited reminds us that there are always things we haven't done.” - Moana Dixon “The one thing you cannot write off is your time, but you can write off everybody else's time and everything else that you pay.” - Moana Dixon “Don't just spend the money to have somebody else do it for you; leverage the higher activity that only maybe you can do or maybe that you're better suited for.” - Chaz Wolfe (Host) “Almost every single time, the worst case scenario kind of ended in, ‘So what? I'll survive.’” - Moana Dixon “The exchange of ideas is one of the most important things that we can do as humans.” - Moana Dixon “I would say every entrepreneur at some stage in their career, it starts off as,”Maybe I'm pissed at the man and I wanna go do my own thing.” - Chaz Wolfe (Host) “The truth is, somebody has gone through that same issue and has resolved it.” - Moana Dixon “You're greater than you allow yourself to believe. Just go for great.” - Moana Dixon
