Of course, there are exceptions but I think those exceptions are so rare I’m going to tell people just don’t be a solo founder.

Make sure that you are not doing it alone. Similarly, really be thoughtful about who you want to work with in terms of partnering, in terms of investors because the people who have any kind of early access to your business are going to have such a huge impact on your success or failure and on your experience along the way”…[Listen for More] Click Here for Show Notes To Listen or to Get the Show Notes go to https://wp.me/p6Tf4b-7Lx

Melina Nacos is a coach. Not the kind who helps people find their unique life purpose or be the best possible version of themselves. No, her shtick is helping leaders knock it out of the ballpark. She prepares leaders to win and own the toughest of crowds at significant public speaking events - keynotes, internal & external presentations, shareholder meetings, commencement speeches, award shows and more. If you’re a leader, you may already know how vital it is to have a discreet wingman (or woman, in this case) who understands your strengths and weaknesses, who prepares you - top to bottom and inside-out - for major milestones. To own a room, to truly kill an audience, is a tough solo act, but Melina will be there to support you the whole way. “Get out of your own way. Because if your idea is good and your work ethic is strong and you are willing to keep learning sky is the limit”…[Listen for More] Click Here for Show Notes To Listen or to Get the Show Notes go to https://wp.me/p6Tf4b-7Ll
