They should be able to appreciate and enjoy their success.” - Zach Mefferd “Stop trying to make everything perfect before you go move. Make a step, do something. It can be done. It is going to be difficult. But, stop trying to have everything perfectly laid out before you start.” - Zach Mefferd “We move fast, we break things, we fix them, we find out how we can improve when we move on. We don't dwell on what didn't go. We just focus on what we can learn from, then move on.” - Zach Mefferd Resources Mentioned: Zach Mefferd, CIC LinkedIn Zach Mefferd, CIC Twitter ZipBonds Coverage Direct Reach out to Ryan Hanley Learn more about your ad choices.
