My guest today is Jennifer Trask, who is an entrepreneur, mindset coach, and who since 2012 has been helping driven entrepreneurs build powerhouse mindsets that enable them to take massive action built on incredible courage, confidence and clarity that gets big results.
After her first business failed, Jennifer overcame her own limiting beliefs and was able to successfully create a full-time digital coaching and advising practice.
With clients on 5 continents, Jennifer is passionate about helping entrepreneurs who are creating positive change for our people and planet. As an international speaker, she has spoken in Canada, The U.S. and Australia. Jennifer has a Bachelor of Commerce in Marketing and an MBA in International Business. She has been featured in the Huffington Post, the award-winning book, 'Living College Life In The Front Row' by celebrated coach Jon Vroman, in the ‘Inspired Coach Magazine’ and the ‘Upwork Digital Nomad’ series. When she is not traveling the globe (she’s been to 27 countries and counting), Jennifer calls Toronto, Canada home.

This conversation today reassured me that yes, when we have our mind set, we can create that habit that we need to push us forward in our journey. We can go beyond the usual excuses, ‘yes, but I’m just not good at that’ without even trying.
Or without trying more than just once before giving up. I’ve learned that entrepreneurship is a skill that can be learned, same as any other, yes, even if you’re not born into a family of entrepreneurs.
That even intuition is a skill that we can work on. That the results we’re getting are very much up to us. And that, well, failure is not only human, but also relative and a powerful teacher.
So I leave you with Jennifer’s inspirational quote: ‘A bad quarter doesn’t make a bad entrepreneur’. I’d add: A bad day doesn’t make a bad person, for that matter.
Until next time, good bye and, of course, please make it All Personal.
