It’s funny how we assume those we admire don’t have the same problems and insecurities we do. As if these people are born in a three-piece suit, immediately an expert in their field or craft. Because we don’t know others’ history like we know our own, it’s easy to feel like an imposter, even when there’s plenty of evidence that says otherwise! It happens to pretty much everybody, and honestly... it’s a reoccurring issue throughout life (assuming you keep trying to progress). In this episode, we ...

Before we get into it there’s one thing we want to make clear, you should only look into starting a second business AFTER your first venture is profitable. Don’t be a dumbass.

There’s something invigorating about startup mode, and having multiple irons in the fire can be huge if one venture starts to struggle!

A major trap that many people (not just business owners) fall into is trying to avoid burnout. The truth is, you need to power through it if you want to eventually succeed in whatever you’re doing!
