The Bright Shiny Object Project

Ep. 142 - New Name Bright Shiny Object - What is an Entrepreneur

“We must be actively aware and mindful of the ideas that are bright, shiny objects taking us places we actually want to go,” explains host Cheri Ruskus, CEO, Author, and Business Coach. Formerly the Business Victories Podcast, Cheri welcomes you to The Bright Shiny Object Podcast. While the show will still focus on all things entrepreneur, she’s ready to deep-dive into the new ideas that either bring innovation to our business or distract us from our goals.

If you’re a true entrepreneur, you see shiny objects that others do not. You may stay up all night with new ideas you’re dying to try, but it’s essential to understand you may either be led to success or the wrong rabbit hole entirely. However, it’s normal for some ideas to die and some to thrive as you navigate your entrepreneurial journey and enjoy the magic of chasing your dreams.

The road of a small business owner isn’t easy, but it’s extremely rewarding. Learn more about Cheri’s goal to motivate like-minded individuals, the common traits of an entrepreneur, and the truth of faking it until you make it.
