SHOW NOTES

If you feel as though you've worked hard to get your coaching, consulting, training, or healing business off the ground but have found yourself nowhere near the success level you dreamed of or if you're starting to feel the entrepreneurial itch and you dream of going out on your own and making a big impact and big income but you're wondering if you've got what it takes to create the success you dream of and deserve, then you'll be glad you tuned into this episode.

Remember my guests and I aren't giving you specific business advice. The information we're sharing is for educational and entertainment purposes only. If you need help be sure to seek out a trained professional whether it's a financial advisor, business advisor, tax professional, or healthcare provider.

Listen in as Deb and I discuss:

• What drives us to start our businesses and how we end up with the opposite of what we want
• The amount of money she thinks you should reasonably expect to invest in launching and growing your business
• The common mistakes corporate escapees make with the money they invest in their startups and where they should invest instead
• Why your reputation isn't enough to launch your business and the two things you need to focus on
• The two biggest mistakes she sees people make – I'll bet you've made or are making at least one of them.
• What you need to stop hiding behind and stop spending money on
• The 10K investment she made in her own training as an entrepreneur that's still paying dividends
• Why you often need a coach and a community to make the advances you dream of.

As always, listen all the way to the end where I'll share your cocktail exercise and action step for this episode.
