No one warns you about the loss of structure when you leave the corporate womb. Suddenly, it’s all up to you.
You’re the boss. You make the decisions. And you need to pin down the principles that create structure in your work life…or face the consequences.
Michelle Peters is the CEO of Supplino, a thriving supply chain marketplace. When she left corporate, she fell victim to hustle culture, overwork, and burnout. Facing each of these challenges in time, she eventually disassembled her embedded corporate mentality and found a winning structure that worked for her…not the other way around.
You’re about to hear Michelle’s journey to make sense of structure as an entrepreneur, her best advice for businessowners who hold on to the corporate mentality, and learning to love the inherent uncertainty of her work.
Michelle talks about:
- Dealing with repeated burnout
- Trusting and embracing your community
- Why women entrepreneurs are hesitant to ask for help
- Why "plant the seed metrics" matter more than you think
- How to persist as an entrepreneur during even the toughest times
- The importance of falling in love with the problem, not the solution
