Sunny Bonnell and Ashleigh Hansberger are the co-founders of Motto, a branding agency for disruptors, game-changers and rare breeds. For over a decade, the dynamic pair teaches leaders how to stand out, think different, and lead bold brands. “stop comparing your success to other people’s success.

I think it’s really important to support other people’s success but I also think that we need to stop comparing where we are with where somebody else is. Everyone gets shown the sizzle reel and being an entrepreneur is not glamorous, it really isn’t. It’s the physical, mental, emotional courage that it takes is a lot. So I think the best advice is just you are good, you will get through it, keep going, don’t put so much pressure on you”…[Listen for More] Click Here for Show Notes To Listen or to Get the Show Notes go to https://wp.me/p6Tf4b-77R

There is a lot of discomfort that comes from being an entrepreneur. And you have to understand that there is going to be a lot pressure on you at all times to make the income flow. It’s all on you. And maybe the other piece of advice is if you are going to be an entrepreneur just know that in the start-up phase you wind up doing it all, and you have to do the accounting, you have to do all these things if you don’t have a significant start-up money to hire a team and start with the team… Over time complexity gets so high that you need expertise in certain silos so you need to find them.

She shouts "YES!" when the banks say, "No." “Hold on, stay the course. And I say that because eight out of ten businesses they fail within five years whatever reason. That can be lack of financing, lack of information, lack of support of course it can be other scenarios that would add to that, but the statistics still remain eight out of ten fail. There are only two remaining out of that group and I believe only one of them will thrive. I want those numbers to change. Hang in there, do something that you haven’t done before, turn up one more stone, take one more class, get one more mentor, watch one more YouTube. That may be the difference of making that number from 8 to 10, to 7 to 10, to 6 to 10, to 2 to 10.
