Learning the hard lessons the hard way is never fun. This talk will be in the form of 5 short stories on how I self-sabotaged my own career, and my business endeavors and briefly touch on how I recovered, or didn’t in some cases. Will close with 2 revelations that anyone can and should apply in their own business.
- Burning the candle at both ends (2 jobs or a side job/product)
- Taking on debt to make payroll as an agency
- Firing slow (bad culture fits kill morale)
- Swimming against the current in the community (necessary at times, but mind your tone)
- All hustle, no personal time. (nothing is worth family + relationships)
- Iterate, Iterate, Iterate (perseverance)
- Invest in your team at every opportunity (the golden ticket)
