139. The 5 Hardest Lessons I’ve Learned as an Entrepreneur: A Peek Inside the Difficult, Honest Parts of my Business Journey
Episode 139
Starting my own business out of absolutely nothing has been the single greatest professional accomplishment of my life. Every single day, I think about where I started and where I am now — and the journey continues to amaze me.
However, it hasn’t been easy. For every breakthrough, new successful idea, and client success story, there has been a lesson that tried to knock me down.
In this episode of the Learn and Work Smarter podcast, I share publicly — for the first time ever — the five hardest lessons of my entrepreneurship journey over the past ten years. My goal is to share the truth, so that anyone looking to start their own thing can be prepared.
What You Learn:
The surprising truth about support from friends and family
The one thing required for business success that everyone will judge you for having
What to do when nobody “gets it” — because believe me, they won’t
The reality about working hard and seeing no immediate results
The hard facts about doing “impossible” things
