When we look at successful entrepreneurs, we don't see the many years of "failure" that preceded their success. In this episode, we talk about what it takes to keep trying even in the face of many years of setbacks. We take a brief look at some example entrepreneurs who have found success after long years of failure. Then we take a look at traits they have in common. Finally, we examine how we as entrepreneurs in the midst of the grind can develop persistence and resilience to become successful.

As entrepreneurs, we're often so busy and buried in working on multiple projects. It can be extremely hard to be organized and plan everything. When I was a teacher, I was busy with all the things, multiple classes across multiple grades along with a handful of extracurricular activities. I was forced to find a planning system that would really work. I share that system with you in this episode. I have found it exponentially more effective than the typical paper planner or digital planner. I hope you find it helpful, too!

In this episode, I talk about what it took to finally get from dreamer to doer when it came to going into business for myself. I talk about the key mindset shifts I had to make as well as the practical steps in order to get to my first sale. The hardest part in this stage of entrepreneurship is just getting started. How do we get to a point where we know what to do and act on it? How can we overcome the fear and false beliefs we subconsciously struggle with when it comes to putting ourselves out there and in looking for customers?
