💥 QUOTES 💥 

💥 “Ultimately, it comes down to what you want to achieve. Do you want to build that company to a billion, 5 billion, 10 billion, or do you want to create that financial freedom with a few personal assets, growing a family, traveling the world, and being content with your life? It's about defining your own goals and aspirations through your own lens.” - Chris Salerno 

💥 "I would love to see our company at a billion, 5 billion, 10 billion and keep growing from there. And to get there, there has to be certain rooms that I'm in with other individuals to help my mindset and help my level of thinking expand to achieve that type of status." - Chris Salerno 

💥 “When you build a high rise, you're building a high rise. What's the most important part of that high rise foundation? You need a strong foundation to grow 100 stories up.” - Chris Salerno 

💥 “It takes time is a great reminder for us. And when you think about it and you look around and you really get beneath the surface, you recognize that generally anybody that you think is an overnight success generally is 15 to 20 years in the making.” - Chris Salerno 

💥 “You have to make sure your personal life is there with your boundaries. Just like you're building a foundation for your business, you should have already built a foundation for yourself personally.” - Chris Salerno
