Starting Your Business From Scratch

I was on the treadmill the other day at Fitness Quest 10 when one of our newest members approached me about starting her new business. She asked if I could give her some advice and share some of my lessons when starting my business. I said, “Absolutely. As long as we can do it on the IMPACT Podcast.”

So here it is. This episode dispenses my best advice from infusing authenticity, overcoming mental blocks, hiring, dealing with mistakes, building a culture, growing & scaling, and finally… where to even START. Bring a pen and paper because this episode is JAM-PACKED with gold and I am fired-up to help you get your business off the ground and running successfully. Lace-up your bootstraps, apply these principles, and LET’S GO!!
