Do you know that running your social enterprise with an entrepreneurial mindset costs you time, money, and health?


Having an entrepreneurial mindset is vital to starting an impact business and being resilient enough to keep it going despite the countless bumps in the road, yet it can only take us so far. The only way to take our social enterprise to the next level WITHOUT losing our mental and physical health is by presenting ourselves, behaving, and becoming a CEO.


This week, I'm excited to welcome the extraordinary Dena Patton. Dena is a Global Speaker, Award-winning Coach, Trainer, and Author, who thrives working with world-changing business owners and leaders. She developed a 3-pillar coaching approach that helps clients build efficient systems, effective sales strategies, and a greatness mindset.


Tune in and listen to the fifty-eighth episode of Avant-garde Entrepreneur. You'll hear Dena's practical advice on transitioning from an entrepreneurial to a CEO mindset. Dena also highlights the importance of self-care, scheduling personal activities, and maintaining a balanced life. Plus, Dena shares the three systems every social enterprise's CEO must have in place, the importance of becoming best friends with delegating, why we must fight smallness with all our strength, and much more.
