What is the difference between building a business and a job?
The difference between building a business and a job is a job you always are going to trade time for money. A business, you build a machine that generates revenue, generates wealth so that you can invest it and do anything you want. You want to make sure that your goal as a business owner is growth, value, vision and building with intention. Do you want to exit this? Do you want this to parallel into something else? Do you want to be acquired? Do you want to merge with another company?
Why do many entrepreneurs end up in golden handcuffs?
Like these are conversations I noticed that were really lacking in the space. Like nobody was talking about it, but it's really one of the most important fundamentals that you can have when you build a business with a purpose.

Candy Valentino started her business at 19 years old. I was slinging drinks at 19, by the way, with no degree, no corporate background, no money. And P.S., there was no internet back then. She successfully started, scaled, and sold businesses in service, retail, e-commerce, and product manufacturing. Oh my gosh, we need to talk about that.
What should entrepreneurs consider when designing their exit strategy?
In addition to creating a vast real estate portfolio as a flipper and investor. At the age of 26, Candy founded a nonprofit charity that is so amazing. Through her success in business, she bought and donated a building to the organization. Since then, having saved thousands of lives, and Candy has been actively involved, personally raising millions for the charity. During her two and a half decades as an entrepreneur, she has been named to top business leaders, 40 under 40, top 50 women in business, 10 people making a difference, top 10 business consultants by Yahoo Finance, and was the youngest female to receive the Governor's Award in Entrepreneurship in Pennsylvania.

Leveraging her 24 years of experience amassed from creating successful businesses in multiple industries, Candy created Founders Organization. With unmatched business development and entrepreneur education, Founders Organization supports entrepreneurs in their pursuit of growth, scale, and profit in their business.
How is leadership different from management in entrepreneurship?
She's been featured and interviewed on numerous TV, radio, magazine. I mean, listen, this lady's everywhere. She's incredible. I'm so excited for you guys to meet Kandi today. Kandi, thank you for being here.
Thank you so much for having me. And I am so sorry that I've been doing this so long that that was so long of an intro.
Why is it important to avoid the 'save everything' mentality?
Oh my gosh.
Listen, and you and I were just talking about this before we started recording. And I think it's important for us my people to hear this. Unfortunately, we live in a world today where anyone can proclaim themselves an expert, proclaim themselves, you know, a business strategist, you know, really position and personal brand themselves any way they see fit with any credibility, without any reason or justification for these statements. So I do feel it's important when I need someone like you, it is important to note those accomplishments and really hear there's so much more credibility beyond you saying, hey, I'm really strong in business.
Yeah, right.
What mindset shift is necessary for long-term wealth creation?
And we have people that I think because, you know, to be a doctor, an engineer, you need that piece of paper. So I think we have people that don't have any credentials, don't have any experience in teaching what they're teaching. And it's putting a ton of misinformation out there, which we shared. And it's really doing a lot of damage and costing people a lot of money.
