Quotes:

  • I always had this determination and mental attitude to never take a no for an answer, because a lot of times  when somebody is telling you it's impossible,  it's because of their incapabilities, and so they are unable to see what you may be able to see or what you  believe you can manifest.”-Dan Trtanj
  •  “If I had listened to every person throughout my life that tells me that I can't do it, I would've quit almost everything I've ever done in my life, or I wouldn't have started this successful business in2017. “- Dan Trtanj
  • “If you're a high achiever, you're always assessing yourself both as professional and individual, there are so many doubts and setbacks, but I combat that by having transparency on what we do and by setting standards”- Dan Trtanj
  • “Being an entrepreneur and starting your own business is both wonderful and hard given the pressure, but never for one second did that ever make me deter. Those moments of weakness and insecurity are where the growth is taking place.”- Dan Trtanj
