#683: Lessons Learned: 15 Years of Hard-Earned Entrepreneurial Wisdom


Listen Later

How you can apply the lessons I’ve learned over 15 years of entrepreneurship to your growing business. 


I'm super excited that you're here today, my friend! Why? Because I just celebrated something very special – 15 years of entrepreneurship! Can you believe it? Over the past 15 incredible years, I've learned more about myself and my business than I ever thought was possible. And I'm ready to share the biggest and most important takeaways I've learned with you right here and right now!


But, I'm only lifting this curtain on one condition! I want you to take away everything I say today and apply it directly to your business so that you can grow, scale, and create the freedom-focused business you've always dreamt of. Because let's face it, even on the hardest days, entrepreneurship beats a 9-5 job every single time. 


Trust me – I know firsthand just how difficult entrepreneurship is, but please know that you're not alone! You'll have the best and most challenging days of your life, and I'll be right here to cheer you on every step of the way. So, if you're deep in the trenches or have seen them before, this episode will be one you'll want to put on repeat!


Today, I talk about: 

  • 3:43: How I’ve learned to have “thick skin” in entrepreneurship (even though I’m a super sensitive person!) 
  • 10:20: Practical tools for managing depression, anxiety, and self-care
  • 16:46: Why you need to be known for and prioritize one niche as an entrepreneur 
  • 19:45: Advice for separating business relationships from true friendships
  • 24:02: Tips for maintaining a team, hiring the right people, and having difficult conversations 
  • 26:34: Understanding that every challenge you face is happening FOR you

  • Listen in and keep reminding yourself what you’re working towards. Keep going because freedom is just around the corner, my friend!
