65 | Leading as a Bold, Brave, Female Entrepreneur with Amber Hurdle

Being a bold, brave female entrepreneur doesn’t mean you never fall down; it means that when you do fall down, you get back up, because if you don’t quit, it will get better. Amber Hurdle is living proof of this. Amber is the CEO of Amber Hurdle Consulting, a multi-award-winning consulting firm that pioneers using both science and marketing principles to strengthen customers’ brands from the inside out. She also was a teen mom, working multiple jobs to provide for her baby and in 2020 she had to completely re-envision her business when, as a result of the pandemic, almost overnight she lost 18 months of speaking engagements and coaching clients.  Today she helps female entrepreneurs overcome costly business problems like ineffective recruiting, turnover, underperformance, declining morale and leadership gaps by clearly connecting her clients’ people strategy to their business strategy, reminding her clients to lead with their heart first and that a little bit of grit goes a long way.  Show topics include: In Episode 65 of The Lean Out Your Business Podcast, Host, Crista Grasso and Amber discuss: 3:00 what it means to be a bold, brave, female entrepreneur 4:51 the 4-steps of being leading like a bombshell 7:59 what it looks like to start from zero each day 12:57 a better way to look at “failure” 17:09 how to know when it’s time to quit 19:09 how the mantra “simplify to amplify” can change your life and your business 21:30 what to do if your entrepreneur eyes are bigger than your belly (aka the amount of time you have in a day) 28:25 why being weird is a good thing, especially for entrepreneurs Links from Today’s Episode: Want more time with Amber?
