Description

The We Built This Life podcast has been around for one year! (Plus a few months, but that's a small detail...) When I started this podcast in May 2019, my goal was to complete 10 episodes. And in May 2020 I reached that goal. I'm calling this collection of episodes "Season 1" this, Episode 11, celebrates the 10 stories told so far. The first six lessons come from the amazing guests who have been on this show, and the next four lessons come from my own experience starting something new (and even though this new thing for me is podcasting, I think the lessons could apply to anyone starting something new, whether it be a business, program, or something else entirely). If you've never listened to We Built This Life before, this episode can also serve as a brief summary of sorts of the first season.

Lessons From This Episode:

1. It's okay to pivot your career (and pivot it back again).
2. Be honest with yourself about how you feel about money and what it means to you so you can set goals accordingly.
3. Trust your intuition.
4. You can build a business with kids at home.
5. You also can build a business with limited time (even though the progress might be slower.)
6. When you hit roadblocks in your business, try making a little tweak and things might fall into place.
7. Get more mileage out of work you've already done.
8. Know yourself and design your business around that.
9. Don't take anything too personally.
10. Set goals for your season of life.
