Show Notes: 

The educational system was designed to make you well-rounded, which means you divide your efforts instead of focusing exclusively on what you like doing and what you’re great at.

It’s possible to get somewhere even if you don’t know what the map looks like.

Your next step requires you to do things you don't know how to do yet.

There are always going to be ups and downs in the economy.

When you get rid of the clients that are a bad fit, you have more energy for your other clients.

An entrepreneur can outsource the assembly of their team.

It’s okay for you to want to improve your experience as an entrepreneur.

You don’t need an advanced degree to understand Strategic Coach thinking tools.

It takes insight to say, “Let's not make this any more complicated than it needs to be.”
