Are you a risk taker?

There is no greater risk than to go out on your own to start a business, but the rewards are huge. And when you find that passion nothing will stop you.

For my guest in this episode, Steve Ware, risk taking was never easy. Coming from a risk averse family his mindset was one of corporate safety. Then a long career at IBM was ended by burnout and the Covid pandemic.

Discovering the power of mindfulness ignited something in Steve. He transformed himself by regaining control over his mental health, which led to training others in the practice with rave reviews.

It wasn’t until he risked everything by investing all his earnings back into his business that things really took off.

Get ready to find out the impact mindfulness can have on your life, and the challenges and rewards of transitioning into entrepreneurship.

“It feels like I'm swimming with the tide now”– Steve
