Embarking on the entrepreneurial journey can often feel like jumping without a parachute, a sensation I know all too well. Through 25 years of business ventures, I've found my parachute in the mantra "Stop Stopping," which has propelled me through every challenge, from starting a restaurant with no more than hosting experience to recuperating from open heart surgery. This episode of the Empty Nester Entrepreneur podcast is a rich tapestry woven from my life stories, serving as a beacon for those seeking to ignite their entrepreneurial fire and push beyond the boundaries of fear and uncertainty.
My narrative unfolds, revealing how I crafted a diverse portfolio of income streams, ranging from an online stationery business to a successful eatery, underpinning the importance of adaptability and a steadfast spirit. Listeners will garner wisdom from my encounters, like the pitfalls of a supplier resistant to the digital revolution, coupled with poignant insights inspired by the top regrets of the dying. Join me as we uncover the resilience needed to join the elusive 4% of businesses that flourish beyond a decade, and how health, our most precious asset, grants us the freedom to chase our wildest dreams.
