#111: 3 unexpected things I learned in my 1st year of business

I'm pulling back the curtain on my very first year of business and sharing three unexpected lessons I wish someone had told me sooner. These aren't the shiny, highlight-reel takeaways, they're the real, behind-the-scenes truths that shaped how I work, lead, and make decisions today. If you're in your early stages of entrepreneurship (or honestly, even if you're years in and still figuring things out), this conversation will help you feel less alone, more grounded, and clearer on what actually matters in that first year. ______________________________________________________ FREE RESOURCES ↓   25 Profit-Focused Interview Questions To Guarantee You An A-Player ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/25questions   5 ChatGPT Prompts Exposing What's Bottlenecking Your Growth ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/5prompts   The Team Decision Playbook: So Nothing Lands Back on Your Desk ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/playbook   Your First Game-Changing Hire | A Free Masterclass Series ✨ —> Learn how to attract, hire, and retain A-player employees so that you can grow your business and get things off of your plate https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/training ______________________________________________________ FOLLOW ALONG ON SOCIAL ↓   Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hirewithamanda/   Pinterest https://www.pinterest.com/hirewithamanda/   Facebook https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100078424982186   Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@hirewithamanda ______________________________________________________ ABOUT US ↓   Every week, Amanda brings you actionable, simple, and highly strategic episodes that are meant to help you simplify, streamline, systemize, and scale your dream business...without the burnout and stress!   Catch us on Instagram @hirewithamanda - we'd love to chat with you about your dream business.   Connecting with business leaders is a huge passion for us and we can't wait to meet you! ______________________________________________________ QUICK QUESTION ↓   Would you mind taking one moment to leave us a review?   Leave a review on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-pursuit-podcast/id1727602219   It would genuinely mean the absolute world to us if you told us what you love about the show :)   Thank you so much for tuning in each week and for being part of Amanda's community! ______________________________________________________ TUNE IN ↓   Listen on Apple https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-pursuit-podcast/id1727602219   Listen on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/4gbYFqQqlFtOdWqACn2vM2?si=JedHjnCJT8CCYVoLhdEeiQ
