Some of my favorite quotes from Jill during the interview:
“Learn to control the things you can control and don’t worry about the things you can not.”
“Successful people have a tendency to be able to focus on what they can control.”
“Successful people don’t let their disappointments sink them.”
“You are responsible to make choices to be great.”
“We learn through our challenges.
I don’t think you grow when you are not challenged.
You are writing your own history.”
“Personal accountability pushes you to the next level.”
