She highlights the financial and emotional challenges of running a small business, advocating for candid conversations, realistic expectations, and sustainable growth. Rebecca emphasizes that profitability should come before aggressive fundraising, especially given that only 3% of women founders receive venture capital. Through her experiences and the Female Founder Collective, she champions a community-driven, education-focused approach to entrepreneurship—one that prioritizes support, practicality, and redefining success beyond just raising capital.➡️ Show Linkshttps://successstorypodcast.com  YouTube: https://youtu.be/yBrQcnuknTs Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rebecca-minkoff-entrepreneur-podcaster-best-selling/id1484783544 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/5nGxkflMJwbuBacZRBQlW4?si=22ec86d0aacd4b83 ➡️ Watch the Podcast on YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/c/scottdclary See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We'll see how genuine growth doesn't come from optimization tactics—it emerges when you understand the operating system running beneath your conscious choices. The people who experience lasting change aren't more disciplined—they simply prioritized understanding over improvement. This isn't about finding better productivity hacks; it's about recognizing that your willingness to see yourself clearly directly determines what you can actually change in your life.➡️ Connect With Me https://instagram.com/scottdclarySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We'll see how the world doesn't just randomly reconfigure itself—it bends in response to those who apply relentless energy and unwavering focus. You'll discover how the barriers you perceive as fixed are often just collective agreements waiting to be challenged, and why the people who reshape industries aren't gifted with special powers—they simply refuse to accept artificial limitations. The ability to see constraints as flexible rather than fixed isn't just motivational thinking—it's the fundamental mindset that has created every breakthrough innovation and industry transformation throughout history. This isn't about positive thinking; it's about understanding that your perception of what's changeable directly determines what you can change in your business and life.➡️ Connect With Me https://instagram.com/scottdclarySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
