I want to be honest with you. ππ½ I quit my full time job when I was 22 to start my first company. I had no plan. And I guess long term that worked out for me. But where I wish I could go back and reframe my thinking is this: I thought it was wrong to build something on the side. I thought I would lose respect if I took a part-time job (even though I was struggling to keep the lights on). I looked down on people that didnβt jump all in. Which was SO naive of me. I thought building a business was easy. Because the people I followed kind of made it look easy. One of the things I struggle with most as a creator & entrepreneur is showing the reality. I donβt show: β
The boring stuff. β
Us getting ripped apart by our business coach every week π
π. β
How much work actually goes into this. β
The many mistakes we make. β
And I could go on and on. Thank you Cory Savage for prompting this thought. And thank you i.c stars for asking me to do the commencement speech this year. 2020 I want to spend more time talking about (and showing) the stuff that many of us tend to avoid. What do you wish you knew when you first started? #justQ ππ½π€ #business #entrepreneurship
