Time Stamps

[1:10] –  What is your 1 biggest entrepreneurial failure to date: “The biggest and the darkest was going back to 2012. I quit my job, hired a mentor to teach me how to create a business podcast…I interviewed all the people, set a date on the calendar….and I woke up and did NOT launch my podcast because I was scared.
[3:43] –  What was the 1 biggest lesson you learned from that failure: “There’s only one person in the world that I compare myself to…that’s ME yesterday”
[5:09] What’s 1 thing our masters-in-the-making can do to push through the fear and jumpstart their success on their own entrepreneurial journeys: “You have to think of something you’ve wanted to do for a long time, that you’ve been putting off for all the wrong reasons, and just do it…actually do it.”
[6:30] Current Focus: “Straight back to me…to my health, to my wellness”
[8:15] – “You can’t best serve your audience, your family, your loved ones until you’re actually serving yourself best.”
[8:45] – The Moment of Mastery:
 If you could put one business principle in a time capsule for a future generation, what would it be?

What is 1 book you can recommend and why?
– “THE SLIGHT EDGE – You may feel like you’re not making any progress but you ARE, you just have to trust in the process, in your grind, and what you’re doing”
What is 1 way you track your entrepreneurial progress?
– “I journal to stay present, to write down the things I’m currently working on, and whether those things need the same amount of focus I’ve been giving them…and ideas for projects”
