| 0:03.0 | If you just go into a panic and you spiral and you start signing anything and everything just to keep the lights on, I'm telling you that you will never get out from underneath of where you are. |
| 0:13.6 | If you sit back and you do what you have to do to focus on bettering yourself and bettering your business moving forward rather than just signing on a job |
| 0:21.9 | because you're starving. When you come out of this, you will be that much stronger. |
| 0:30.6 | Welcome back to another midweek modern craftsman where this week, I'm specifically talking to anyone who is staring at an empty |
