🎧 Episode Summary:

In this episode of The Solo Grind, I’m honoring someone who made a big impact on my entrepreneurial journey: Steve Sims.

Steve was an author, coach, creative disruptor, a fellow lover of a really god old fashion, and one of the most unapologetically real people I’ve ever had the privilege to learn from. His books and his speakeasy event shaped the way I approach my business, my clients, and even myself.

Today, I’m sharing three of the most powerful lessons I learned from Steve:
☕ It's not enough to put yourself in a smarter room. You need to have a conversation with the people in the room.
☕ Move on when things aren't working. After all "no one drowns by falling into the water. They drown by staying there."
☕ It's not going to happen if it benefits only you.  "If there is no passion there is no point." 

If you’ve been feeling stuck or unsure of your next step, I think Steve’s wisdom (through my eyes) will give you just the push you need.

Here’s to showing up with passion, purpose, and a really good cup of coffee.

What I hope you take away from today's episode... 

☕ Moving on from unproductive situations is essential.

☕ Passion is key to creating value in business.

☕ Entrepreneurship is about authenticity, not just success.

☕ Networking can lead to unexpected opportunities.

☕ It's important to define what you truly want as an entrepreneur.

☕ Don't get caught up in arbitrary goals like follower counts.

☕ Real connections can lead to personal and professional growth.

☕ The journey of entrepreneurship is unique for everyone.
