014: Start a conversation, Beth Santos

"Why is my self-worth being so dependent on this other outside activity? Why am I letting someone else decide if I am a great entrepreneur or not. " ~Beth Santos, on handling rejection In this episode, I talk with Beth Santos, Founder and CEO of Wanderful, a global network for women who travel about: traveling domestically vs internationally and how she almost bought a house in New Orleans without ever going there! whether or not to get an MBA before starting your own business, why you should FORGET the traditional business plan, how to build a team around your vision and facilitate a values-driven community, diversifying your sense of self-worth to combat competition and comparison, how to balance being a CEO of your company and family, what it means to "have it all", and how to validate your idea by starting conversations!

You need to find out if this idea is valid and if people are going to want it. Not just talking, but listening and understanding what are their problems and is this solving their problems?" ~Beth Santos Show Notes Galore: http://www.thecreativeimpostor.com Magic Page!
