Episode Description

As the state of the workplace dynamically changes to meet technological disruptions and competitive demands, a segment of the working population begins to consider striking out on their own. Doing so requires having a vision that aligns with our own values and a well-considered strategy for growth. Proactively managing cash flow and careful consideration toward scaling the business are often overlooked or ill-considered, yet can be the Achilles heel of the business. Similarly, managing productivity to ensure key priorities get accomplished each day while weeding through the pile of other tasks that can be delegated elsewhere are key areas that must be developed into strengths for founding entrepreneurs to achieve their greatest success. In this episode, the guest shares openly, crisply, and candidly what it really takes to craft a successful business that embodies our desired business lifestyle.
