My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive;
and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.
– Maya Angelou –
“Thriving is business” is a mindset and it’s one that every entrepreneur can adopt within their business. This mindset will determine whether you are a business owner who is “barely making it” or one that achieves success. One of my first business coaches shared her philosophy on marketing that has always stuck with me – she said, “I am looking for the client that is looking for me. I don’t chase, cajole, or convince anyone. I am the answer to their problem.” She didn’t say it to brag or boast, however, that was the energy she brought to interactions with potential clients. I have adopted that same approach in building my coaching business by offering solutions to my clients’ biggest challenges, sharing resources, and connecting them to specialized advisors.
If you’re an aspiring entrepreneur with the vision of excelling in your business, this episode is perfect for you. In this episode, I share three tips that are the basic building blocks for a sustainable business. My goal is to help and guide you in your journey as a thriving entrepreneur.
I believe that we all can flourish as long as we know how to lay the proper foundation to build a strong and stable business, including formalizing your business structure, establishing your values, and nurturing innovation.
