Alexander Concepcion Says Businesses Are Like Relationships (FMF #50)

Fifteen Minute Fridays episode #50 Alexander Concepcion.

Just as we exchange energy with people in relationships, we also exchange energy with our businesses. However, many entrepreneurs find themselves stuck in a bad or boring relationship with their business.

The key to building your desired relationship with your business is recognizing when it’s time to end a bad business relationship, creating room to develop the kind of business partnership you want. As the saying goes, “A failed relationship is not one that ends but one that lasts longer than it should.”

Join the conversation with your host, Ben Albert, as he interviews Alexander Concepcion, founder of Taco Street Locating and the Author of The Chalice of Earthly Delights. In this episode, Alexander unveils insights from his upcoming book, “Survival First - The Rebel Entrepreneur’s Guide to Risk, Riches and Immortality.” 

We explore business as a relationship and discuss how to determine the right moment to quit your business. Alexander also guides us through the difference between prescription and description in business matters. Lastly, he shares insights on his unique risk formula and guides us through essential questions to ask ourselves on our entrepreneurial journey.
