EP228 | It's Not Working...Now What?

Look, entrepreneurship is a freaking roller coaster. If you think it's all smooth sailing and Bentley's, you're in for a rude awakening. Adversity isn't an "if," it's a "when." Today, we're talking about what to do when things ain't working, when you feel stuck, and when the business is kicking your butt. I'm laying out how to take extreme ownership, embrace the discomfort because that's where growth happens, and how to take that 30,000 foot view to figure out your next move. This path ain't for everyone, but if it's for you, these struggles are what make you stronger.

🔑 Key Takeaways:

• You chose this path. Take extreme ownership of the problems. It's your fault, so you're the one who has to fix it.
• Embrace the discomfort. Stress equals growth. The challenges and setbacks are where you learn the most and develop the skills to handle more complex problems down the road.
• Take a 30,000 foot view. When things are tough, step back. Analyze the situation, identify what you're learning, define your key performance indicators, and create a plan to solve the problem.

🧠 Pro Tip:

• The problems you face as an entrepreneur are rarely unique to you. Others have faced similar challenges. Don't be afraid to seek out mentorship or a community of like minded business owners to learn from their experiences and get support.
