Nothing happens by accident. If you want to move from where you are to where you want to be, you must be willing to do the work.
You must be willing to ‘play by the rules.’ According to Jenny Stilwell, ‘Find someone to build your business with from the start- doing it on your own is hard and lonely.’
‘Know that you can achieve far more with the right people than on your own.’
‘Don’t force yourself to be who you’re not. Bring complementary skills into your team.’
‘Have a goal and understand the levers in your business. You have to hold yourself accountable to deliver on those things.’
‘You have to understand how the pieces come together to create a whole business- it has to resonate with your customers.’
‘Stay true to your values and work incredibly hard. It won’t happen without hard work.’
‘Don’t rush. Understand what you are doing and why.’
‘It’s all about the people. The right people aligned around your company’s culture, with the right attitude, will make the company successful.’
‘Know what you want and how far you want to scale.’
‘As a leader, humility is key as it helps you manage people better: a willingness to listen and respond accordingly is important.’
‘Build relationships. People do business with people.’
