Startups in Stilettos

Moving Forward From Major Milestones In Business with Carlyn Bushman


Listen Later

“I cannot stress enough the importance of networking, and really go narrow and deep. I think we get to the point where we sign up for so many things when you go wide and shallow. It's really hard to measure what you're getting out of that particular networking group.” - Carlyn Bushman


Before she was your host, Carlyn Bushman was our beloved guest and founding Entreprenista member full of endless knowledge and prime insight, geared up and ready to share. In this episode of Startups in Stilettos, Carlyn shares how being an Entreprenista 100 Award winner has elevated her business and her advice for anyone looking to apply this year! After hearing all the incredible things that have been happening for her in business, we revisited her debut episode on the podcast! She has always been such a wealth of knowledge, and this episode proves just how timeless Carlyn’s guidance and business acumen truly is. Tune in to hear how she’s helped women not only start a business, but stay in business, how she harnesses her superpower of measuring everything and establishing goals that move the needle forward, and so much more!
