Early in our lives we learn to strive for good grades. We begin to understand the connection between being smart and succeeding. So it’s quite a jolt when we realize that in entrepreneurship simply being smart isn’t enough.

 

There will always be people who aren’t as smart as you who own a much more profitable business.

 

This episode focuses on the tools we need aside from book smarts to create long-term success. These are the tools we don’t even realize we’re developing until we look in the rearview mirror.

 

I talk about:

• How mothering through a pandemic has made me doubt myself in business,
• The reason Tom Brady’s rise to success is relevant to entrepreneurs,
• Why it’s essential to position yourself when you’re the best at what you do, and
• Sharing how your pandemic experience is relevant to your brand’s story.
