Ten months after attending her first GRIT workshop, Jennifer Fasciano joins us to reflect on the struggles and successes of using her GRIT to launch her first business. Her company, Jenni_Fire Promotions, is still on-the-rise so this chat is timely and inspiring!
Through this candid conversation, we discovered three lines of thinking that serve as major obstacles to launching a small business. Then, we got specific about ways to propel a business forward despite these challenging thoughts:
1 - Just because something comes naturally and may not feel like work to you, this doesn’t mean you always have to share your services, your skills and your time for free.
2 - Packaging your services (i.e., deliverables) in a way that inspires people to see the value and want to pay has its own set of challenges.
3 – It’s really hard to assign a price to services that you’ve been providing for free because you never really thought you could actually build a business on your passion.
Join us for a novel perspective on GRIT as a springboard and a propeller; previous comparisons have been to a compass, a backpack, an anchor, a kaleidoscope and even a winter survival kit.
Know your GRIT, know your personality and see what’s possible!
