Feeling stuck in your entrepreneurial journey? You're not alone. In this episode, I dive into the nuances that distinguish good entrepreneurs from great ones. We’ll cover the importance of hard work over innate talent, and I’ll even share some personal stories of struggle and success when I was first getting started.
