There’s a point in every online business where you can choose to persevere or quit. But what does it really mean to persevere? You might be surprised to learn perseverance in business does NOT necessarily mean doubling down, putting in more hours, moving full speed ahead, ride or die. Sometimes perseverance looks like taking a break. And in this episode of The Inspired Business podcast, we’ll tell you why.
If you’re in a stage of business growth where you’re feeling burnt out, or burdened by the costs of sustaining your passion work, then tune in to today’s episode to discover how staying in business means staying the course, even when the course involves winding roads and detours.
Highlights:
- What’s the difference between success and failure in online business?
- The entrepreneur brain and how different ideas fit for different seasons
- To be a serial entrepreneur, it helps to be a serial learner
- Perseverance doesn’t necessarily mean working harder; sometimes it means pivoting or taking a break in order to keep from burning out
- The “messy middle” of entrepreneurship
- First things first: take care of the money stress, which might mean “tent making” (and why that’s the opposite of failure)
- What it really means to be “all in” in your business
- Pivoting in business might look like change, or it might look like adding a new venture
- What do you need to do to make sure your business is still fun?
