Welcome to How Not to Run a Business | Ep 01

Woohoo! Welcome to episode one! I thought I would start off by taking the mic and kicking off by explaining the idea behind “How Not to Run a Business”.I started it for a very specific reason, to have conversations around failure and mistakes. Something we often avoid. I also share a short version of my 15 years of running my own businesses. Enjoy!  I’ll discuss:Introduction to the podcast and why I set up podcasts.The biggest lies we are told about success.Why no one wants to talk about failure and mistakes.What success, failure, and mistakes really mean.The biggest thing people get wrong about making a mistake or failing.How do deal with failure.The truth about your chances of success.My journey and story about how I started working for myself.Key Learnings:Success is defined by the individual.A failure is always an option.Having a successful business is harder than most people think but a definite possibility.Like this show?
