Ep 19 - The Struggles of a Starting Business
The challenges of new entrepreneurship...
I may have been in business for 20 years, but I vividly remember those early days. Intense they were.
Talking to Elizabeth Ruth brings it all back like it was yesterday.
• Having to juggle it all. Until it’s clear, you’re becoming the victim of your own success and ACTION is needed.
• Dedicating every hour of your day to your business. Work-life balance? What’s that?
• Acknowledging your strengths and weaknesses and finding out that sometimes all is not as it seems. The secret is ‘courage’.
• Lack of funds, lack of time, lack of help... Oh wait! Maybe I could hire staff and get more revenue and...?
• Allowing yourself the space to figure it out. Including the wins and the disasters. They all lead somewhere. Oh, and... PIVOT!
Sounds familiar? This and many other struggles and challenges are the topic of this podcast.
But also... there’s this one question that may help you more than you know.
So go ahead, plug in those earphones and listen to this podcast episode to find out how Elizabeth let the answer to this one fundamental question guide her to success.
