Summary

You can be whoever you want to be if you’re willing to put in the work. And while being your own boss can be a blast, it also comes with a fair share of challenges. For the past couple years, I’ve been building a brand from the ground up and learning what it truly means to be an entrepreneur. I don’t have all of the answers and often feel like I’m totally winging this thing, but I’ve learned a TON in the process. In this week’s #hurdlemoment, I’m chatting the highs and lows of entrepreneurship and offer a few smart strategies for starting something from scratch.

0:00.0	You know what I think about when I refer to these hurdle moment segments as snack size?
0:07.5	Like every amazing snack that I wanted to have in the house as a kid. Anyway, here we are.
0:14.1	Emily Abadi here bringing you your Wednesday hurdle moment, toting tips and tricks and
0:19.6	exercises that can help us all get through the hurdles we
0:22.3	face on the regular. This week, I'm talking about what it really means to be an entrepreneur. For my
0:27.4	understanding, there's a lot of unknown about what it takes to be your own boss and build

0:44.1	I know I definitely don't have all the answers, and a lot of the time, I feel like I am totally winging it.
0:51.8	But hopefully my experience can help some of you out there figure out if maybe you
0:55.6	want to do something like this. And if you do, all the power to you. As always, feel free to
1:02.0	reach out to me at Emily Abadi, at Hurdle Podcast. Hit me up over email emilyatheurdle.us.

1:25.4	for marketing of this thing. So every little bit of social
1:28.5	sharing, it really makes a difference. Lots of messages also this week over Instagram DM that
1:34.2	literally brought me to tears just making my heart the most, the most, most, most full,
1:39.7	telling me things like hurdle is getting you through your own hurdles. A listener named
1:44.1	Christy messaged me earlier this week telling me about the hurdle she conquered running her first
