#701: Feeling Alone In Your Entrepreneurial Journey? Join Us! Jul 30, 2024

Show notes

Why you need to surround yourself with a supportive entrepreneurial circle.

15 years and 24 full-time employees ago, I thought I’d be a one-woman show with a few contractors forever. Because let’s be real, entrepreneurship can be lonely and downright scary sometimes! So often, the people around you don’t believe in your dream and you feel like you’re all alone. But guess what? It doesn’t have to be that way! But you’ve got to take action and be proactive to make sure that it’s not.

Today, you’ll hear:

(2:30) The reason I deeply believe in building an entrepreneurial support system
(7:14) Why you need to be all in with entrepreneurship
(9:40) Practical strategies to start surrounding yourself with other like-minded business owners
(15:09) Proof that you have the power to find your community

Listen in and remember – spend 10 minutes journaling about these 5 questions!

What kind of support do you need?
What kind of people are you looking for?
What kind of group or accountability pod would be really valuable to you?
What do you need to feel less lonely on this journey?
