Description

Entrepreneurship does not happen overnight. Often times, I takes years of strategic planning. For Jessica Lackey, this was a 6 year process!

Jessica Lackey is a strategy and operations advisor who blends business strategy, practical application, and a human-centric approach to create sustainable businesses. With a background in corporate leadership, McKinsey & Company consulting, and a Harvard Business degree, Jessica knows a thing or two about hustle culture and what it feels like to judge success by the bottom line…at all costs.

Jessica shares her six-year journey to starting her own business, and the importance of planning, building relationships, and having a human-centric approach. We discuss the stages of business growth, the pitfalls of hustle culture, the value of market research, and actionable steps for entrepreneurs. Jessica also highlights the significance of taking intentional actions and offers advice on creating sustainable business practices.

Action Steps:

1. Assess the bottlenecks in your business
2. Focus on long form content, whether this is a podcast or blog post. 
3. Set up a system to track your metrics in your business - from social media to connection calls!
