Ep 01: From Struggle to Success: Activating Your Next Business Move: My Journey to Entrepreneurship & Faith

Welcome to the Activated Entrepreneur Podcast, where I,Brooke Berndt, share my personal journey from childhood entrepreneurship to running my own bar. Join me as I recount my early days with a lemonade stand, which ignited my entrepreneurial spirit, and how I grew up learning invaluable business skills in my family's bar. I candidly discuss my challenges with ADD and how traditional education wasn't my fit, which led me to embrace business as my true calling. After college, I took the reins of my family's bar and eventually opened my own establishment in South Denver. However, the 2008 economic crash and subsequent mall redevelopment forced its closure, challenging my business identity. Yet, through resilience and a steadfast commitment to my purpose and values, I adapted and discovered new paths forward.In another transformative chapter of my life, I share how discovering Jesus at 36 has guided my business ventures, opening and closing doors that led me to this podcast, a beauty brand, and a coaching business. Encouraging listeners to take leaps and embrace pivots, I emphasize that God's callings are intentional, urging you to activate your potential and connect with your God-given purpose. As I invite you to share your activation stories on Instagram, I hope to inspire you to live an impactful life aligned with your true calling. Stay tuned for next week's exciting conversation with Jessica Wilber, who shares her remarkable journey of building an almost eight-figure business from humble beginnings.Connect with Brooke:Website:www.brookeberndt.com Instagram:@brookeberndt.businesscoachFacebook:Brooke BerndtStand Store:www.stan.store/brookeberndtbusinesscoach Shop:www.virtuebeautyco.com
