Why did I decide to do a podcast and why is this one different from any other business and marketing podcast. I have a thesis, that there are similar traits among all entrepreneurs, whether you have just made your first sale or you have made millions. The goal of this is to help anyone whos looking to get started, realise they are only one step, one product, or one funnel away because every other entrepreneurial podcast focuses on people who are so successful, is unmotivating and unrealistic for anyone whos about to get started, really believe they can do it.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Sometimes, you just need to get started
- You are further than you think
- Every entrepreneur has a similar trait
BEST MOMENTS
"I've always questioned things. And I've always been consistent, and not afraid of failure"
"If you're relatable to somebody, you really resonate with their message"
"Every entrepreneur has something similar to each other"
