Entrepreneurs have a few characteristics in common - they’re curious and they think big. That’s exactly how Cindy went from unemployed to personal trainer to Amazon best seller. With a little help from Google along the way, Cindy discovered the exponential opportunity of entrepreneurship. If you’re wondering what you need to get started, this one’s for you (psst... you already have it).

Can’t-Miss Moments From This Episode:

  • You’re an employee OR an entrepreneur… but what if you could be both? Cindy shares her wealthy mindset that tackles head trash and the either-or myth of entrepreneurship
     
  • Ever get salty because you feel like you could have charged more for a service? Mini rant on operating by The Pro Code and lessons from the school of hard knocks 
     
  • Never compare yourself to anyone else - but what if it could motivate you to make the change you need? The only time I’ll every say comparison is useful
     
  • Your self-worth does not equal your hourly rate. What you need to look at beyond just the numbers
     
  • Ending an episode with a story about getting fired? Yup. The fantastic lesson from this story makes it a high note to end on.
