Stand Out by Finding Your Unique Angle

The Most Important Lesson is “Know Thyself”

 

Corey Hiben Notable Quotes

 

“We’re always best positioned to serve the person we once were.”
– Corey Hiben

“What it taught me in that moment was that I’m not for everybody, and everybody’s not for me. I’m not going to jive with everybody, and that’s just a fact of life. So no matter what it is that you create, or put yourself out there, people are going to judge you, and that’s a fact of life. You’re not looking to please everybody, nor would you want to please everybody, nor would you possibly be able to please everybody. And that’s not the job. The job is to show up and add value to the people that you do want to hang out with.”
                                                – Corey Hiben
