You Know Your Craft… But Do You Actually Know Business? | S5 EP. 10

Starting a business because you’re great at your craft is one thing. Learning how to actually run and grow a successful business is another.In this episode of the Risk Taker Podcast, Ebens sits down with Chevonne Boyd of The Hive on Loockerman St for an open conversation about entrepreneurship, business ownership, betting on yourself, and the lessons you sometimes don’t learn until you’re already running the business.Chevonne shares how she went from spending years helping other people with their dreams to finally saying yes to her own. But once she stepped into entrepreneurship, she quickly learned that knowing your craft and knowing how to run a business are two different things.She gets open about going from 23 events in one month to slower seasons, cancellations, unexpected expenses, taxes, and reaching a point where she had to figure out how she was going to make payroll.Instead of hiding from the experience, Chevonne went back to the numbers, invested in learning what she didn’t know, and started putting better strategies in place.In this episode, we talk about:Why knowing your craft doesn’t mean you know how to run a businessBetting on yourself and finally saying yes to your own dreamCash flow, payroll, expenses, and preparing for slower seasonsLearning from business mistakes instead of repeating themWhy investing in yourself matters as an entrepreneurGetting rejected for a business grant, applying again, and winningFaith, marriage, and having the right support system while building a businessTaking the next step even when you’re scaredIf you’re an entrepreneur who knows your craft but is still learning what it takes to run, manage, and grow a business, this conversation is for you.Pray first.
