KEY TAKEAWAYS COVERED IN THE PODCAST All new business owners face the same three challenges involving self-motivation, time management and work-life balance.New business owners make their own lives harder by playing the comparison game with other entrepreneurs in our space. We must stop doing this!New tools, techniques, platforms and systems are releasing all the time. It can be difficult to not get wrapped up in all the “new” that you need to do.Drive, consistency and relentlessness are key to success in THE ONE THING YOU NEED TO REMEMBER ABOVE ALL ELSE… “If you build it, they will come,” doesn’t apply in the entrepreneurial world. It’s more like this: If you build it and you market your backside off and you give it consistent attention, THEN they might come. Success takes time and effort! Please keep going and keep up the hard work!“I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.” Michael JordanHIGHLIGHTS YOU SIMPLY CAN'T MISSTeresa’s challenges when starting her own business – 02:21The main challenges new business owners face – 03:15The syndrome all entrepreneurs suffer from, especially in social media – 05:25Entrepreneurial Myth #1: Everyone else is an overnight success – 07:21Characteristics of successful entrepreneurs – 09:12Entrepreneurial Myth #2: That success is easy and will come quickly – 10:23Teresa’s plea to YOU – 15:13LINKS TO RESOURCES MENTIONED IN TODAY'S EPISODE Amy Porterfield’s podcast, episode 203Transcript below Hello and welcome.
