364: Lessons From My First Business

Learning how to run a profitable business takes time. Despite what some people might have you believe, we’re not born equipped with all the knowledge and wisdom we need to become a successful entrepreneur. Life teaches us those things.   You might have the fundamentals of running a business down to a tee, but it’s not until you’re in the trenches of your business that you gain a wealth of knowledge and finally understand what it takes to be a business owner.  I’ve learned a lot throughout my career. But, the lessons I learned back in my first business, have arguably been the most impactful on me and my career. In this episode of the podcast, I take you back in time to my very first business and share the seven most valuable lessons I learned that impact how I run BizChix today.  So, what are you waiting for? Take a trip down memory lane with me!  In this episode, I discuss:  Why you should build a sales team  The value of retaining clients  How to create momentum in your business  Why you need to seek impactful work that brings you joy  Join the BizChix Community  Books, Tools or Events Mentioned:  R.E.S.E.T.
