It’s your time. Let’s get to work.

Most people don’t fail in business because of a bad idea; they fail because they didn’t respect what they were getting into. In this episode of Everything Entrepreneurship, I break down the #1 mistake new entrepreneurs make when transitioning from employee to side hustle or full-time business.

We’ll talk about:

• Why so many people give up too early
• The difference between making money vs earning it
• The real costs (time, money, mindset) most people underestimate
• How proper expectation setting is your first business strategy

Everyone talks about the 10,000-hour rule, but no one talks about how many of those hours are wasted.

In this episode, I break down the truth about what actually makes someone great, not just in theory, but in real life. You’ll learn the four scientific conditions that make practice actually work, the 4 levers of accelerated mastery, and why I believe 720 structured hours can change your life faster than 10,000 unstructured ones ever will.

Whether you're just starting or you've been grinding for years, this will reshape how you think about skill, time, and growth.

Before you pay for a coach or wait around for a mentor, ask yourself this: Are you ready to be challenged, or are you just looking for comfort?

In this episode, Kyle Jerome Carter breaks down the real differences between coaching and mentorship, how to know if you're actually ready for either, and the two biggest factors that determine success: ego and execution.

You'll also hear the story of Kyle's first $1,100 consultation, how it changed the way he built his business, and why most entrepreneurs don’t need more advice; they need the right environment.

Whether you’re climbing the corporate ladder or building your 5-9, this is the clarity you didn’t know you needed.
