Popular Business Advice I Rejected (Part 2)

Popular Business Advice I Rejected (Part 2)

From being in masterminds, attending events, and taking all the programs, I am sharing the top business advice that I actually decided to REJECT and share WHY. Our problem isn't a lack of information, it's a lack of clarity on our own personal goals and defining success in a way that is true for us, and using the strategies that can help us get there. Everyone's path and journey of entrepreneurship is deeply unique and personal, and although there is a ton of info and resources out there, I hope this episode helps you have a strong filter for receiving advice that is aligned for you, while not being afraid to reject advice that others may feel is "good advice" but it does not resonate with you. Remember: your business is a reflection of you, and it's YOUR job as CEO to decide how you want to lead your business!


Here’s What We Cover In the Episode and More:

  • Merits of rejecting popular business advice and following a path aligned with your values and vision.
  • Having singular focus on one compelling offer.
  • Avoiding the dangers of scattering energy across too many options.
  • Advocating for balanced growth that respects personal limits and entrepreneurial spirit.
  • Recognizing and honoring the different seasons in business and life.
  • Misconceptions surrounding networking and relationship building in business.
  • Fostering connections creatively and authentically.

Embracing your own unique path in business, even when it contradicts popular advice, can lead to a more authentic and satisfying entrepreneurial journey. By focusing on a singular vision, honoring the natural seasons of growth and leveraging creativity for publicity, you unlock the potential for success without sacrificing personal well being.

As you venture through your entrepreneurial path, remember to trust your instincts, filter advice through your own lens, and run your business in a style that feels totally you! After all, it's your unique vision and values that will shape your success.
