Breaking Free from the Need for External Validation

from Business by Design Hosted by Valerie Priester

In this week's episode, I delve into a crucial topic that affects many entrepreneurs: the pitfalls of seeking external validation in both business and life. Join me as I explore how this need for external validation, especially among women entrepreneurs, can shape our perception of value and success. While seeking validation from others can have its merits, I'll uncover how an excessive reliance on it can become a roadblock to achieving your goals and making sound decisions. We'll examine the cautionary tale of Blackberry, a company that missed the mark due to its overreliance on external validation. ---- Building a profitable business can be challenging and overwhelming. There are so many decisions that need to be made, actions that must be taken, and hopefully all with grace, ease, and confidence. Sometimes you need an expert to help you sort out all the pieces and create a clear path to your desired success in short, intensive strategy sessions. If that’s what you need, the 90-Minute Strategy Session if for you. Click Here to learn more!
