[01:20] Todd’s big purpose in what he does
[03:18] Swimming in debts
[04:30]Challenge #1: Imposter syndrome
[08:58] Challenge #2: COVID-19
[12:55] Challenge #3: Operating in vacuum
[16:23] One critical skill for entrepreneurs
[19:14] The power of active listening
Todd says his biggest purpose in what he’s doing right now is to improve people’s lives. He shares some of the challenges he has ever faced as an entrepreneur and how he addressed them.
He says the biggest challenge was imposter syndrome. Todd never felt he deserved his success. He never owned the success but owned his failures. To solve this, he decided to work on himself and hired a coach to help him see purpose in his life.
Another big challenge Todd faced was COVID-19. With its impacts felt in almost every industry, COVID-19 was also a threat to his business. But quickly realizing that COVID-19 “happened for us, not to us,” was key in navigating and finding opportunities amidst the pandemic.
One final challenge Todd faced is operating in Vacuum. However, he was able to overcome this with the help of Jack Stack’s book, The Great Game Of Business, open-book management. He says he doubled down on using Jack Stack’s tools extensively and overcame this challenge.
He says there’s one critical skill that all entrepreneurs should have to succeed.
