191. Entrepreneurship: How to Do Market Research, and Growth Strategies with Celi Arias

Did you have a business as a young teenager to earn a little extra money? 

Celi Arias, a business coach who started her first business at age 11to fund her passion for ballet. We dive into Celi's diverse background - from professional dancer to fashion designer to COO - and how those experiences shaped her unique approach to coaching clients today.

Celi shares the key blindspots she sees entrepreneurs making and need to avoid, such as failing to do market research or ignoring the numbers. 

We discuss why avoiding discomfort hinders growth, and tips for getting comfortable with being uncomfortable. 

Celi also opens up about big lessons from the last year and what she's most excited about for 2023.

You'll learn:

• How Celi built a full babysitting business at 11, even recruiting "closers" to get clients
• Why entrepreneurs choose a harder path - and how to clear the way
• Common areas entrepreneurs avoid facing - like numbers or feedback
• Celi's biggest lessons from last year 
• What Celi is focused on building and growing this year
