Are you finding yourself struggling with the pressure of timelines in entrepreneurship? It’s common for people to get upset if something doesn’t happen in the time they want it to, whether it’s getting bookings, reaching their financial goals, or launching a program. One thing we have to keep in mind is that not everything happens in the time we want it. We need to embrace the journey of building a business with patience and resilience.

While timelines can be good to have, if we focus too much on them, they can impede our progress and quite honestly, can make building our businesses not as fun.

There are things we can do in order to help us not stress so much about timelines. By removing the pressure of the timelines, asking for help when needed, and continuing to self-reflect, we will be able to have a healthier relationship with our timelines, and ultimately thrive.

In this episode, we chat about:

  • The misconception of overnight success in entrepreneurship
  • Removing the pressure we put on ourselves
  • Embracing the journey - Set realistic expectations and celebrate the small wins
  • Asking for help when going through challenges
  • Taking time to self-reflect
  • Strategies for managing expectations - Setting SMART goals and adopting a growth mindset

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
