In this episode, I share what I've learned from simultaneously running a 7-figure coaching business and launching Tiger Rock Capital Management, my hedge fund.
I walk through my journey from working as the first outside hire at a hedge fund in 2013, to building my coaching practice in 2016, to scaling it to consistent six-figure months, and finally launching my own fund after putting up strong returns in 2023-2024.
Key lessons covered:
- Why one business is more than plenty (and when two might work)
- How the core skills of entrepreneurship transfer across completely different industries
- The critical importance of saying NO to the wrong clients
- Why you need a world-class operational partner before starting a second business
- How grit and resilience matter more than industry expertise
Whether you're thinking about starting your first business, scaling your current one, or considering a second venture, this episode breaks down the realities of what it actually takes.
P.S. Whenever you're ready, here are 2 ways I can help you:
