The Mindset to Change Your Life’s Direction, w/ John Brontsema

My whole life was dedicated to baseball from an early time. People say, “Don’t put your identity,” or “You’re not a baseball player. That’s not your identity.” It really is though. While it’s not, it feels like it, because every decision I made, everything I was passionate about was baseball and achieving the next level.

Britany began her career as a handy woman/ jack of all trades/ will do anything-you-need to make money. This included a service going door to door throughout her neighborhood at 10 years old. “I made flyers to put on doors, and car windshields, and knocked on every neighbors door within a couple of miles of my house to gain business.”

She is greatly inspired by her Mom who Britany says “instilled in me my ‘I can do anything- I can make anything’ attitude. Whenever I would see something I wanted her first response would be ‘we can make that’.”

Her biggest accomplishment in her young career?
“Quitting my steady 9-5 and starting Britany Simon Design House.”

Quick Q&A:

The biggest obstacle you’ve overcome?

Favorite quote:
“I am in competition with no one, I have no desire to play the game of being better than anyone. I am simply trying to be better than the person I was yesterday.”
