(49:50) Key Quotes: “The first two hours I spend with any client is mostly understanding as much as I can of how they arrived at where they're at right now. And I'll go back to even high school, college adolescent sports because I'm really big on analogies and using other situations to point out that oftentimes people have they actually have the answer to their own problem.” - Benjamin Kowalski “The biggest thing people struggle with is giving things to another person knowing they could do it better, and knowing the person they're training is going to make mistakes.” - Benjamin Kowalski “If you really want more time or need more time, you first have to get the things off your plate. And that is a very difficult thing to do when somebody has become successful because they do everything themselves.” - Benjamin Kowalski Resources Mentioned: Benjamin Kowalski LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/benjaminkowalski/ Freight360: http://www.freight360.net/ Cameron Pechia: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cameron-pechia-49903072/ Ryan Young: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryanyoung1986/ Valley Trucking Insurance: https://www.valleytruckinginsurance.com/
