Resilience is great, but it is not the opposite of fragile. The term coined by author Nassim Taleb is Antifragile. This goes beyond withstanding stress (robust) or bouncing back (resilience) to having the stress or challenge transform the object to become even better. This is definitely possible with your business to become more antifragile and be ready to more than just be ready for shocks, but to actually thrive and be more creative because of the shocks.

The odds aren't great for small businesses, but on today's podcast I talk with Jan of Oma & Popie's and Susie of Well Rounded Meals, have made big shifts in their business to set themselves up for long term success.

To be a sustainable company requires a profitable business model and you stepping into the role of CEO. Not just working IN the business, but working ON the business and take more ownership over the vision and direction of the company. No more doing things on the fly and running around putting out fires - calm and confidence is possible and my guests are living proof!

This podcast episode celebrates 3 years 🎉! That's over 160 episodes released with over 60,000 downloads! Thank you for listening and sharing with others. 

There is no magical arrival to some future place where everything is perfect in your biz and you are happy all the time. Founders who think this usually get so frustrated that "it" never comes that they give up all together. The founders who embrace the process as what really matters and make it fun, curious and open are the ones who succeed the fastest and ultimately love that there is never a "there", just milestones of accomplishment and celebration along the way.

On today's podcast, I share with you the second key to success that I see in the hundreds of people I have worked with over the past six years helping them start and scale their packaged product business.

You probably got into business to have more time and freedom, and then the business ends up holding you hostage like a prisoner. For most founders, if you don't work in the business, it doesn't work and make money. But that doesn't have to be the case. The goal of entrepreneurship is to have the business make money and work for you even if you aren't there. 

Rob Spiewak is the founder of Mor Kombucha and is currently on a six week paternity leave and is confident the business will run smoothly because of the work he put in to create a team and systems. Listen in to find out how he did it and get support with Master Your Business to do the same (join the waitlist to start 9/19).
