BYOB 01 - The journey from corporate to building your own startup business with Andrew Ford

In this, the first episode of the Build Your Own Business Show, the tables are turned and Belinda Coomes, my podcast producer, puts me in the hot seat. We talk all about my background, my values, my own business and what drives me.Belinda and I discuss my escape from corporate life and how I turned my skills, knowledge and expertise in digital, marketing and branding into my own successful business, Social Star. We talk about how both personal resilience and willingness to evolve my business over time, has been key in my own journey as an entrepreneur. Belinda and I look at how creating a robust and nimble business has enabled me to be flexible in my work/life balance. We also talk about why I believe it’s important for all small business owners/entrepreneurs to understand that there are no shortcuts to success, that it’s a marathon, not a sprint.Keywords:build your own business, Andrew Ford, social star, business journey, entrepreneur, entrepreneurship, how to be a successful entrepreneur, small business, small business owner, empowerment, achievement, working with passion, journey to success, positive mental attitude, mindset, personal development, business coaching, e-ttractionist, linkedin, utilising linkedin, branding, personal branding, personal brand management, digital marketing, online networking, podcast, business podcast
