I Am Going To Be An Entrepreneur For The Rest Of My Life - Samantha Brown Interview

Listen Later

Samantha Brown, a determined entrepreneur with a passion for helping others build their audience on social media, joins the show today to discuss all things business with your host, John Paul. Together they discuss why being an entrepreneur means you have the ability to be in control, how to learn when enough is enough and why you should never be scared of people saying ‘no’ to you.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • The only way you can be in control is to run your own business. Even in the pandemic or during a change of government, you can still decide what you are going to do with your own business.
  • Don’t be scared of people saying ‘No’ to you. Most entrepreneurs have felt this at some point. A lot of the time when you are asking people whether they want to purchase your product or not, you are actually asking them ‘Am I worthy or not?’. Most people do not want people to say no to them, because they are thinking of themselves and their feelings.
  • Once you start to detach yourself from being your whole business and understand that you are not your products, services or client results, you are just you, then you will start to become more relaxed.
  • If you cannot take time away without everything stopping or falling down in your business, then you have a job, not a business. Put plans, systems, processes and people in place so you can take a step back from your business.
  • Being wealthy is subjective to each individual. As long as you know how much you endeavour to earn, then stick to that goal. Do not be swayed by others to constantly thrive for a higher figure, as long as you are happy with your business and the turnover or profits, that is all that matters.

    ABOUT THE HOST

Barely able to read and write, to the point that at exam time one of the teachers had to read the questions out to him (and then write down his answers in every exam). Written off like most kids who struggled at school and being told by his woodwork teacher he “was nothing and would amount to nothing” he now runs a multi award winning company in the construction industry . A loud but shy person who knew he wanted to achieve great things with no clue what business he wanted to do but knew that’s what he wanted. With his first business started at age 14, to now, he has learned most things the hard way. Now the owner of multiple business with one being multi award winning, John Paul has been in business over many years sharing what he has learned over this time mainly the hard way.
