Summary
Does the thought of leaving the perceived safety of your 9-5 to become an entrepreneur scare the life out of you? If the fear of failure is holding you back, then today’s episode might help by shedding some light on a few common misconceptions about the risks of becoming a business owner.
This week on the podcast, Kristen is talking about why people fail in the entrepreneurial space with the author of Unlocking Your Potential, Jeff Lerner. From humble beginnings, Jeff started as a broke jazz musician and now builds 8 and 9-figure businesses. So when it comes to separating the good from the great in business and knowing how to set yourself up for success, he knows a thing or two.
Here’s what they’re talking about:
- Why Jeff believes employment is riskier than entrepreneurship
- Explanation of the time-money trade and why it might sabotage your growth
- Learning to become comfortable with risk
- How self-esteem plays a part in your success (or failure)
- The pitfalls of people pleasing in business
Success doesn’t come from learning how to create the perfect offer or the perfect Facebook Ad. It comes from investing in skills and personal development needed in order to grow not only your bottom line but also your confidence.
