Which aspects of entrepreneurship tend to overwhelm you and lead you to question your abilities? What false beliefs have you encountered in building your business and what lessons have you learned from the ones you've overcome?

I recently hosted Women's Entrepreneurship Day in Cleveland, Ohio, and, through that process, confronted some old familiar false beliefs of my own. My experience inspired me to share what I believe are five core truths about entrepreneurship. My hope is that they help you envision what your business can be: through focus, letting go of perfection, embracing sales, finding the lessons in failure, and becoming more resilient.

After listening to the episode, I would love to know what truths you've discovered along your own journey of entrepreneurship. Leave a comment or write a review, and make sure that you subscribe to The Prosper Project so you never miss an episode!

Prioritizing gratitude during the biggest sales period of the year may sound counterintuitive; especially since most, if not all, businesses are prioritizing sales promotions to acquire new customers. Yet energy focused here also fuels business growth.

Expressing appreciation to the people who impact our businesses seems obvious, but often we find it hard to do so or simply forget because we naturally focus on what is wrong or needs improvement.

In this episode, I share the simple steps you can take to implement a practice that has numerous benefits. I reveal scientific evidence of the relationship between optimism, self-confidence, and gratitude and how you can express gratitude to build stronger relationships.

Every business is likely to experience a growth plateau at some point. When this occurs, entrepreneurs are often willing to try any available strategy to regain a forward momentum…but is this the best way to achieve long-lasting growth for your business?

Today, these questions (and more!) are tackled by my extraordinary guest, Carrie Flynn. Carrie lives near Orlando, FL, where she resides with her husband of 17 years and their two beautiful daughters. She has a special talent for simplifying and stabilizing business operations. Her company, Virtual Simplicity, LLC., teaches clients how to scale their businesses using the Zenpreneur Formula - a process designed to help entrepreneurs develop sustainable business growth.

Carrie discusses her transition from full-time teacher to business owner and reveals how she scaled her own business by concocting a magic formula that puts the right processes in place. She shares some of the lessons she has learned from growing her business and helping seven-figure business owners do the same. She also explains why it is important to move forward one step at a time and how a 90-day plan can help your business growth last.
