Send us Fan Mail🗣️ "We were paying ourselves below the poverty line. I remember my tax filing from like 2002, 2003… we were below the poverty line."David Brecount, CEO and Co-Founder of US Digital Partners, joined me on the podcast and shared what those early years of business really looked like:👉🏼 “You live off savings, and you press on. You go out and sell another project, figure out how to do it. Then you sell another project, and figure out how to do that one too.”We talked about everything from starting with raw perseverance, to raising a family while building a business, to this powerful reminder:💡 "Leaders need silence. Leaders need white space on the calendar to consider things, digest information, and make decisions."We also dove into what it really means to lead a team:🧡 "You have to love your team members. You have to care for these people. This is about loving your neighbor as yourself. That’s it—right there."If you’re building a business, raising a family, or simply trying to stay aligned with your purpose—this one’s for you.📺 Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/9AOWhVkqLXQ📲 Connect with David:🌐 Website: https://www.usdigitalpartners.com/💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brecount📄 Free Resource: Download The Ultimate Leadership FRAMEWORK: 7 Steps to Building a Successful Business Without Sacrificing Your Life and start leading with confidence! 👉 Get it here: https://www.kristinaschmitt.ca/the-ultimate-leadership-frameworkFRAMEWORK FOR DIFFICULT CONVERSATIONS : https://www.kristinaschmitt.ca/framework-for-difficult-conversations🔗 Stay Connected with Kristina:🌐 Website: https://www.kristinaschmitt.ca📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kristinaschmitt.ca/💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kristina-schmitt-development/🚀 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kristinashmittdevelopment/#BusinessBuildingBlocks #LeadershipQuotes #StartupJourney #EntrepreneurLife #DavidBrecount #USDigitalPartners #WhiteSpaceMatters #LeadWithLove #FaithDrivenEntrepreneur #PodcastQuotes #FounderWisdom ✨ Introducing Smooth Start: The New Hire Success Kit A simple, proven framework to help leaders bring new hires up to speed in 90 days without adding more work to your calendar. 👉 Get the Smooth Start Kit — Only $97📅 Ready to talk about how to build that kind of culture in your team or family?
