How can you make your business journey as smooth as possible? Well, for a start, you can learn from my mistakes! Don’t get me wrong, in my first year of business, I’ve made multiple six-figures, but I still experienced the ups and downs that only come with being an entrepreneur. 

 

Today I want to share those reflections and takeaways of running a business with you so that you can (hopefully) avoid these same mistakes as you build your own Laptop Lifestyle! 

 

In this episode, we dive deep into all the lessons I’ve learned in my first year of business. From staying on top of your taxes and prioritizing time management to investing in yourself and adjusting your money mindset, I want to make sure you have the smoothest path as you grow and scale your business to success.

 

In this episode, we cover…

• The most essential skill to learn as a business owner
• Why you can’t grow a business without investing
• The importance of personal development and discipline in entrepreneurship
• How to adjust your money mindset
• Why energy is everything, but so is self-care

 

 

“Now, don't get me wrong, the big money is amazing. But you have to make sure that you focus on the health of the business, the projection of the business, the health of yourself, the [evolution] of yourself, and the day to day lifestyle of all the other things that make you happy and proud. Because money doesn't mean anything other than the value that we assign to it.” - Amanda Kolbye
