Summary
"Take care of yourself so that you show up in your best life," said today's guest, Whitney Eckis, Founder of Eckis Marketing. This sound advice is what makes Whitney successful as a serial entrepreneur, and one with her hand in FIVE businesses! From her primary business, Eckis Marketing to GetSupr! an hemp-infused instant coffee that Yahoo! Finance named a top startup to watch in 2021, Whitney keeps a packed calendar. However, she also makes sure to put her own mental health first, which she credits to being able to do her job each and every day.
Join us for this incredible conversation on how at just 22 years-old, Whitney generated a proof of concept that launched her agency and her career.
A few of today's top takeaways:
- Mental health comes first, you have to take care of yourself and your team.
- Set boundaries on your calendar and stick to them.
- Delegate tasks that you are not good at so that you are able to focus on the things you are best at.
- Ask clients, "what do you need" vs. just sharing what you offer.
- Invest into your company to build case studies, gather a proof of concept so that you can use those situations to build and grow your business.
