050: 5 Keys to a Highly Successful Entrepreneur

As you likely already know, in an entrepreneurial journey, no one starts out as an entrepreneur. Take my story for example. Straight out of college, I jumped into the nonprofit world. After years of struggles and pay cuts, I became extremely passionate about the budding entrepreneurs I was meeting and the big dreams they carried. It was at this point that I decided to step out on my own to help them and, in that, became an entrepreneur myself.   We’re smack dab in the middle of a series on entrepreneurship where we’ve been highlighting a lot of our clients. However, today we wanted to switch it up a bit by expanding on the story I told above. I’m going to share all about my entrepreneurial journey and that of our team here at Experience Leadership.    There are five lessons that I've picked up over the last decade of being an entrepreneur. During this amazing time of supporting entrepreneurs and leaders within our communities and around the world, I had to learn these five lessons over and over again. They not only apply to me though; they’ve been practiced by many of the leaders that I've had the privilege of working with over the years as well. Tune in to learn these five keys to being a highly successful entrepreneur.    In this episode, you will hear: Entrepreneurs are driven by something beyond money. Why we dig deep beneath the surface with our clients. Entrepreneurs are humble enough to both teach and learn. Entrepreneurs focus on the things that matter. There are two types of entrepreneurs: technicians and visionaries. Entrepreneurs are aware of their limitations. The importance of connection and relationships in entrepreneurship.
