Send a textIn this episode, I’m sitting down with my friend Landin Brow - owner of Nova Auto Detailing, who’s been running his business for eight years - to talk about the real, unfiltered side of entrepreneurship.Landin shares how taking the pressure off, trusting real experience, and staying open to guidance helped him build a business that actually feels aligned. One of the themes he comes back to again and again is connection - how having mentors, supportive friendships, and people you can lean on makes the journey less lonely and a lot more doable.He also opens up about how his path challenges a lot of what’s taught in traditional business school. Instead of focusing on rigid frameworks or “perfect plans,” Landin shows how real-world experience, trial and error, and genuine relationships often are what *actually* move you forward.We also explore burnout, discipline, comparison, and letting go of the belief that you need to have everything figured out before you begin.If you’re craving honest insight from someone who built a business through consistency, community, and real-life learning, this conversation will meet you where you’re at.Connect with Landin & Nova Auto!Follow on Instagram: @novaautodetailing_Visit Nova Auto Detailing Website: www.novaautodetailing.comConnect with Erin!Follow on Instagram: @ebbsandflows222Send me an Email: [email protected] a Reiki Session With Me!Chapters00:00 The Journey of Entrepreneurship22:58 Lessons from Business School45:53 The Reality of Running a Business01:09:10 Balancing Work and Personal Life01:31:58 The Importance of Mentorship and Community34:13 The Emotional Rollercoaster of Entrepreneurship36:54 Finding Balance in Business and Life40:50 Collaboration Over Competition43:05 The Power of Mindset in Business46:58 Learning Through Experience49:32 Manifestation and Trust in the Process51:58 The Value of Working for Yourself53:43 Setting Goals and Achieving Growth56:18 The Journey of Hiring and Team Building01:01:41 Staying Grounded Amidst Success01:04:52 Navigating Business Challenges and Support Systems01:11:31 Mindfulness and Grounding Practices01:20:32 Lessons for Aspiring Entrepreneurs01:30:11 The Power of Connection and Community
