  Quotes "If you are fixated on doing the best that you can in something that's not working, and you give it too much time - I think we just need to know when it's okay to stop and move on."   "ADHDers are 35% more likely to become entrepreneurs."   "Generally, we don't delegate until we're over capacity at like 120%. So 70% is really where then you should find someone to delegate to."   Links & Resources Mentioned in this Episode Laptop Lifestyle Co Links: Website Instagram Tik Tok YouTube Channel   Other Links Mentioned Brooke's Website Brooke's Instagram Brooke's Podcast Brooke's free eBook Brooke's Complimentary Consultation
