Let's Be Real - Mama Journeys - Episode 191 W/David Hampson

David Hampson is a multi company business owner and author of a book called Rainbow Gold. He advises people on how to run a business.  He believes that enjoying the journey is the most important part of owning a business but that doesn't always happen. This happens because of the grind and the need to financially be considered successful. He says that anyone can build a business and that doesn't always mean going to business school.  You need to be open to mentorship, having a passion and empowering people. Developing leaders is about listening and mentoring them to find their inner strength. Women are outstanding leaders and often they make better decisions and are open to discussions and mentorship. Men often have an ego issue that gets in the way to actually hear other inputs and take them in. Women don't sleep as well and are always "on."  For a leadership position, the balance and the taking in many different inputs is really important.  The disproportionate amount of things going on in a female's world is really unfair but somehow they overcome it. For male business leaders, flexibility is such an important part of managing your employees. If you can get the job done, let people enjoy their lives. He wishes he would have done differently is "is the business I am buying something I am passionate about?"  Passion can make or break you in what you do with your life.  You can find him at www.myrainbowgold.com and his book is available on Amazon and Barnes and Noble.
