406. The Uncomfortable Business Truths I Learned After 25 Years of Entrepreneurship

Success doesn't come without mistakes along the way. In my 25 years of running a business, I've been through a lot of ups and downs. Whether you've made a mistake in hiring, firing, pricing, or you're dealing with the internal struggles of worthiness and doubt, I've been there. You'll learn more about the common mistakes people make in entrepreneurship in this episode, along with what I would do differently if I could go back. I'm also sharing some of the uncommon obstacles I've faced and how I dealt with them at the time. In this episode, you will learn about: How I learned about hiring too fast and firing too slow…the hard way. Why it's your responsibility as a leader to preserve the energy of your team. The importance of facing your mistakes (rather than letting them stop you). How trading time for money keeps you stuck and what to do instead. Tips for avoiding burnout and why it's crucial for entrepreneurs and leaders. The value of community and why you need to invest in it from day one. Why you should trust your intuition even when the market research disagrees. How your biggest failures actually shape the great life you're building.
