Not only does entrepreneurship give you control over your space
and time, but it also encourages you to grow as a person, which
then creates positive effects throughout your life more
broadly.
Today on the show we sit down to talk about our entrepreneurial
endeavors, the moments in our lives that turned us off working a
nine to five, and some of the realizations we had along the
way.
Our conversation begins on the subject of lighting and how
something as seemingly small as that could (and should) switch a
person off of having to be in an office environment all day. We
then get into the many different jobs we have worked, talking about
the things about them that we loved and hated, and what encouraged
us to get into a more self-driven approach to making
money.
Entrepreneurship is not without its challenges though, and we
speak about some of the nightmare clients we have worked with and
what we learned from our experiences. We touch on the role of
intuition in decision-making and the need to learn how to trust it,
the value of having a good sense of self-worth for setting the
right price for one’s services, and a whole lot more.
Ultimately, these ideals are all about self-development, and we
end off by expressing our gratitude that entrepreneurship allows
you to do what you love while also helping you to show up to each
day as a better person than you were the last.
