EP 203: Reflecting on Five Years of Entrepreneurship
Join me on a journey of reflection as I recount five years of entrepreneurial endeavors - the triumphs, the hardships, and the invaluable lessons. I'll let you in on the five key things I've learned over my half-decade venture, including the art of active listening, the importance of valuing all voices, and the necessity of doing your homework before stepping onto any podcast. Additionally, I contemplate hosting an in-person event for our podcast’s six-year mark – an exciting milestone that feels both humbling and surreal. As we venture deeper into the realm of entrepreneurship, I share my experiences with outsourcing, assembling a supportive team, and the often hard-learned lesson that growth sometimes requires leaving certain things behind. Listen in as I recount personal stories about the difficult, yet necessary decisions I’ve had to make. I also impart some knowledge on networking, financial literacy, and leadership. As a business owner, preparation is key, and it’s essential to surround yourself with professionals like accountants or coaches who can guide you along the way.   Watch Full Episode and Subscribe on YouTube   Thank you to our Sponsors:   BetterHelp - Get 10% off your First Month www.betterhelp.com/pwp Idea to Launch Podcast -  Get $100 Off our signature course using code 'PIVOT' - LAUNCH YOUR PODCAST IN 30 DAYS  ____________________ Ready to start your own podcast?
