Actionable Take-aways:

1. Fear and imposter syndrome are common problems that all entrepreneurs face. Release yourself from these limiting emotions and beliefs by understanding that no one can be an expert at something new.

2. If you are always spending time on “wrestling alligators” by working on the day to day problems in your business instead of working on growing your business, you will be the limiting factor in your business.

3. Goals that are not tangible are not goals, but mere hopes and dreams instead. Find out your goal and whether it is reasonable with the help of the  success formula (how much, by when, for what and why).
