| 0:01.5 | You need to have a problem that you solve and you need to have a way for people to pay you. |
| 0:04.6 | That's it. Mind blown, right? That's it. That's all you need. I'm going to say you should only spend your time if it brings you one of two things, right? If it brings you money or if it brings you joy. And if it brings you both, double down on that shit. Welcome. You're on air with Ella, where we share simple strategies and tips from people who are doing something better than we are. |
| 0:26.5 | Whether it's wellness or relationships to just living better and with more energy or changing your mindset to accomplish more in your own life and succeeding however you define it. |
