In this episode, "It's Never Too Late to Leap: Redefining Success After Retirement with Vicki Semanie" our guest shares a powerful reminder that success in entrepreneurship is a journey, not a sprint, and that leaning into purpose, patience, and presence creates the most meaningful impact.Some of our favorite takeaways include: One of Vicki’s biggest lessons: Entrepreneurship takes time. Comparing it to an ivy plant: Year 1 it sleeps, Year 2 it creeps, Year 3 it leaps.Her philosophy: “You can only succeed if you fail first. It’s what you do with the failure that determines your future success.”Advice for new entrepreneurs: Have a financial nest egg. Be ready for unexpected pivots and delays in revenue. Focus on long-term relationships and impact, not instant results.Guest & Host Information:Guest, Vicki Semanie, Master Certified Professional Coach at Seven Stones Life CoachingCo-Host, Ashlan Glazier-Anderson, Owner of AshbeanPDX MarketingCo-Host, Victoria (Tory) Proppe, Owner of Imagine Marketing StrategiesConnect with Vicki:On FacebookOn LinkedInVisit Seven Stones Life Coaching websiteGuest Bio: Vicki SemanieVicki founded Seven Stones after a long career as a finance and operations professional.
