Dr. Jane Pegg is a veterinarian specializing in dentistry and oral surgery, and her ambition led her to build an enterprise that includes both a hospital and a school. In this episode, Jane shares how she went from feeling unhappy in traditional jobs to doing only the work she’s best at and loves most.

Here’s some of what you’ll learn in this episode:

• How you actually grow as an entrepreneur by designing your own future instead of following a prescribed path.
• The number one thing entrepreneurs learn in The Strategic Coach® Program.
• Why Jane’s first year in Strategic Coach® was very different from what she expected—and why that turned out to be a good thing.
• The most valuable part of The Strategic Coach Program for Jane so far, and how it changed the way she thinks about problems and opportunities.

Show Notes:

Entrepreneurs learn at a very early age that they can’t just follow along; they have to create their own path.

Entrepreneurs create their own futures, and the best ones always see their futures as bigger than their pasts.

Problems are raw material for expanding the usefulness of your business.

If you do something only rarely, you have no ability to become truly proficient or truly exceptional at it.

If you don’t know where you want to get to, it doesn’t matter which way you go.

You won’t get any closer to your next goal by sitting still.

Entrepreneurs need the courage to say, “There’s no other option. This is what we’re doing.”

Strategic Coach thinking tools aren’t tied to a particular industry; they connect directly to your unique experience.

Entrepreneurs have to figure out for themselves what they want their main area of focus to be.
