7 Lessons I Learned On My Way to a Sustainable Business
Just because you know something isn’t the same as experiencing it. As a CEO, you undergo rites of passage as you progress through your business, especially if you want a successful and sustainable one. In this episode, I share some of the lessons I’ve learned the hard way so you can see a little further ahead on your path, mitigate some of these challenges early on, or just have a more realistic view of what you’re up against.
On this episode of Promote Yourself to CEO:
3:46 - Lesson one: you cannot do this on your way to sustainable business success.
8:03 - I get angry when I see how too many others fail to implement this lesson. You won’t have a dream business team with this mindset.
16:03 - What will you struggle with when you attain success, and why? The third surprising lesson I learned.
23:16 - Lesson four: the more your business grows, the less and less you’ll find yourself seeking this.
30:55 - The biggest celebrity influencer entrepreneurs make it seem like marketing solves all business problems. Here’s why it isn’t the answer.
33:17 - Lesson six is the best lesson of all. So how do I apply it in my business?
38:33 - We’re idea machines as entrepreneurs. But we need to take more heed of this lesson and beware who we listen to. I explain why.
45:15 - Surprise! I reveal a bonus lesson to wrap the show.
