Woman Owned: The Growth Podcast for Women Entrepreneurs EP481: The Art of Getting Uncomfortable with Dr. Karen Wilson
Do you struggle to get outside your comfort zone in business? Maybe you know your fear is holding you back from fulfilling your highest potential and from growing your company’s influence, impact, and cash. If this sounds like you, you need to hear this episode.
Being bold and getting outside your comfort zone can be scary, but it’s something all successful entrepreneurs have to do. In the words of today’s guest, “You have to take bold steps, be fearless, and be willing to fail.” And when you do, extraordinary things happen on the other side.
My guest today is the incredible Dr. Karen Wilson, director of West LA Neuropsychology and founder of ChildNEXUS. Using her background as a neuropsychologist and tenured professor, Karen took the bold step of leaving her tenure to start a business that would multiply the impact she would be able to have.
In this episode, Dr. Karen walks us through her path of comfort to discomfort, and what it was like going from a psychologist in an academic setting to a startup founder pitching for venture capital. I know Karen’s experience of getting uncomfortable to attain extraordinary results will be inspiring to so many of you, and I can’t wait to hear about the bold steps it leads you to take!
