This episode at a glance:
[03:29] At the time I decided to leave my corporate career, there was nothing that would have indicated I would be where I am today - which is generating high six figures in revenue, making so much more than my previous corporate salary
[04:15] To make a difference for others and not feel like I was just a small part of somebody's larger plan. And sometimes even an invisible part in someone's much larger plan.
[11:07] Successful businesses, in this space in the small business space usually are looking at a common pain point or need in the market rather than reinventing the wheel.
[14:50] Everyone who starts a business learns as they go because they've never started a business before. Once you've had one or sold one and started a new one. Then maybe you do things differently.
[18:01] There are lots of options for getting your business up and started. Don't let a narrow prescriptive view of how you think it's supposed to go or that there's a right way for it to go stop you from getting started.
