Business Brain – The Entrepreneurs’ Podcast

You Need Patience More Than Money


Listen Later

You’re building a business—but are you being too impatient? This week on Business Brain, Shannon and Dave dive into why patience often trumps money in the early stages of entrepreneurship. Instead of chasing quick profits, focus on putting in reps, learning the game, and building a system that pays off long-term. You’ll hear how to stay grounded during those “grind now, profit later” phases, and why a strong foundation is your best shot at sustainable success. If you’re flipping products, launching a service, or just pivoting, the secret isn’t more cash—it’s more time, more process, and more clarity.

They also unpack the power of transparency in partnerships. Want to make smarter decisions with your co-founders? Try laying your cards on the table—real talk about personal cash needs can shift everything. Shannon shares how keeping expenses lean gives you maneuverability, while Dave reveals how his team shared their personal budgets to boost trust and empathy. It’s all about knowing what you really need, so you can stop panicking and start living your Charmed Life.
