Listen on…
The journey of entrepreneurship is a trip – full of ups, downs, and unimaginable joy
If I told you that five years from now, you’d be getting a text from one of your all-time favorite entrepreneurs, to make sure their launch didn’t clash with yours – would you laugh?
Right now, things like…
…generating seven-figure revenue
…having a 25-person team
…being friends with the entrepreneurs you admire…
May seem improbable… even impossible. But the truth is, you don’t know what’s ahead for you. Your wildest dreams probably don’t even equate to what’s actually going to unfold.
In this episode, I offer a reminder of everything you’ve been working so hard to build – as I reflect on the highs and lows of building a wildly successful business from nothing.
I remember like yesterday how hard those early years were. And if you’d told me then that I’d have what I do now (the team, the revenue, the community, and a heart full of gratitude), I’d have laughed too.
As for what I’m most grateful for in entrepreneurship…
You’re probably experiencing it right now. And in this special episode, I hope you’ll realize that this experience is what will make you.
And don’t forget, this episode is part of our Week of Gratitude & Giving – and you know what that means – I’m giving away a GRAND PRIZE. It includes:
- A one year subscription to the Full Focus Planner
- A 6 month membership to Social Curator
- A copy of my book, Two Weeks Notice

Here’s a glance at this episode…
- [04:01] I remember like it was yesterday how hard the early years were – it was a rough time mentally and physically.
- [05:30] It's okay if you don't totally see your future success yet. Back in the day, I couldn't envision the life I have now. I'm grateful that I kept going!
- [08:09] I'm grateful for some of my biggest hardships. I'm grateful I had to go into debt, because I had to figure out how I was going to get out of it, which led to me creating Facebook Influence with Lewis Howes.
- [09:41] I'm grateful that I had some serious setbacks when building this business, because I wouldn't have the impact, team, and revenue I have today without that.
- [10:18] I'm grateful for some of the friends that I'm no longer friends with. There were a few friendships where we didn't show up as our best selves and the relationships didn't last.
- [12:31] If you're in it, and it feels messy, chaotic, overwhelming, or sad, know that you are not alone. I hope you find a small group of people you can confide in and count on. Know that it does get better.
