Your failures are part of your life for a reason. They’re there to make you more powerful and unbreakable.
In this episode of the Fire In The Belly Podcast, Mighty Pete talks to Kelly Forrester, the Resilience & Growth Leader, about how she helps entrepreneurs achieve their business goals by sharing her truth. Even though you have the toughest skin, the unpleasant stuff will still try to penetrate hard and get you. Kelly says it’s normal. But you have to learn how to be resilient and be prepared more than ever in the future. Tune in now as she discusses some very helpful business lessons and also shares her journey.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Always choose the path where you’ll emerge the victor. You don’t need the awards, the money, and all the worldly possessions to know that you’ve won. Learn how to see fulfilment in what you can’t see—the long-lasting life lessons, personal development and the impact on others’ lives.
Kelly experienced a fair number of ups and downs when she was running her businesses. Though we know for a fact that the downside exists, it still stings every time, doesn’t it? Kelly wants you to remind yourself now and then about your life goals and to focus on them. Fill your mind with the optimism you need.
It’s your duty as the business owner to protect your business and the people inside it. Don’t make decisions that would absolutely go against their stance. Learn the benefits of being risk-averse and being adaptable when a crisis happens.
Key Tips Kelly would like everyone starting a business to know: Crisis plan. When you hit a cash flow crisis, get someone to talk to about it.
You are not your business. Be logical and realistic. Don’t get too caught up with emotions. If you need help or even to sell, then do it.
Lead with love and compassion. Just a reminder since we tend to forget and be robots.
BEST MOMENTS
“It is all about energy. I feel that we’re connected in one way or another through higher energy.”
“It doesn’t take anything to be a dad, but it takes everything to be a proper father.”
“Your ‘home’ is where your heart is.”
“Don’t go into a partnership with anybody, hoping that EVERYTHING will be okay.”
“People will always judge you, but it says more about them than it is about you.”
