Entrepreneurs chronically want to chase their newest idea or level up to the next thing in business and we are no exceptions. 

Also known as "Shiny Object Syndrome" refers to both wanting to buy this next new thing that we think is going to improve our life or solve our problems. Or alternatively, it could have been like seeing someone doing something really well and thinking, wow, I could, I should do that. However, for entrepreneurs that are starting out, getting distracted by these new things can set you back financially or in focusing on the important things you need to. 

In this episode (our first of Season 2!) Courtney confesses the last time she was tempted to invest in something shiny and exciting while Fifa talks about how she invested in something that moved her business forward. Sam gives tips for how to avoid shiny object syndrome and why you need to get the return on the coaches, programs, and things you choose to invest in. 

In this episode, we conclude our first season of the Still Minimum Wage podcast talking about our hopes and plans for the upcoming months as we continue to grow our businesses.

In this episode, it's a round table where we share the honest truth about where we're at in our business currently. Unlike all the gurus out there who love selling you the dream, we want to share the raw reality of what our day to day looks like and where our mindsets are at currently. Even though we've made some progress, we've got a long ways to go.

In this episode, Sam is in the hot seat. Her business challenge is feeling burnt out while running her design business and losing her inspiration. It's a trendy topic in the world of entrepreneurship. In this episode, we explore what does burnout look like and  some ways to combat it before and after it happens.

What do you do when people say they like what you're doing and admire your business but don't quite seem interested in working with you? You might have heard of the friend zone in dating, but it seems this can happen when running your own business too. In this episode, Courtney is in the hot seat. Her business challenge is not asking for the sale due to a disconnect between her current audience and her offer.

We test the advice "The riches are in the niches". In this episode, Fifa is in the hot seat. Her current entrepreneurship struggle is not having a "niche". We discuss the common approach to choosing a niche, and we propose an alternative perspective on niching that allows us to stand out as a unique service provider without shutting out potential clients.

We kick off our first episode by introducing our 3 hosts: Courtney, Fifa, and Sam. We also share how our Asian upbringing influences our entrepreneurial journeys and what we learned by not sticking to the same path that our parents may have wanted to for us - and why we don't regret starting our own small businesses.
