Quotes:


“The best thing you can do is make your business as least risky as possible.” - Greg Elfrink 

 

“I tell people all the time, if you can't afford it, as you say, you know, your lifestyle was taken care of in terms of expenses and stuff, if you can afford it, always choose to build an audience over building revenue, because then the audience becomes an endless supply of potential stuff for you”  - Greg Elfrink
