Probably Bothered

While this episode begins with a fascinating conversation about why quitting is in fact, a good thing, Coonoor and I dive deep into far more than that. We talk through how there are multiple ways to quit, how the sunk cost fallacy applies to us as business owners, and, how to make decisions as solopreneurs when you don’t have mass amounts of data at your fingertips. I’ll give you a hint: it’s about trusting your gut.

What do I wish I knew at the beginning of my business? You can't rush the process. There are so many stages that business owners go through, and while it isn't 100% guaranteed all the time, it is something that can't be rushed. We share our experiences with the evolution of our businesses and talk about how Work-Life BALANCE is a hoax. Listen to find out what it really should be called. 

Finally, we talk about the idea of unlearning. How do we unlearn what has been instilled in us for so long in order to figure out how we do our best work.
