2024 has been the worst year of my life. There have been so many lessons both personally and professionally, with so many issues cropping up that I had to tackle and address. I want to share pretty candidly what challenges I faced this year and the growth I experienced because of it. We’re getting into the importance of reaching out to your mentors, doing a profit/loss statement for my many businesses, and the two pieces of advice that leaned on the most: 'trim the fat' and re-evaluating the 'hire slow, fire fast' principle. Despite this insanely tough year, I’m committed to moving forward because I love this work and I think we are heading into 2025 the clearest and strongest that we have ever been. We’re laser focused on the Doer's Library and nationwide in-person events and as a stronger team. Join me as I offer the insight and practical advice I wish I had for navigating business hurdles and embracing personal and professional growth. 00:00 — Welcome to the Unfiltered Entrepreneur 02:49 — Reflecting on a Challenging Year 03:15 — Seeking Advice and Leaning on Mentors 05:51 — Lessons Learned and Moving Forward 10:41 — Trimming the Fat: Streamlining the Business 20:25 — Reevaluating Hiring Practices: Hire Fast, Fire Slow or Hire Slow, Fire Fast? 26:44 — Looking Ahead to 2025 Resources: · Listen to The Unfiltered Entrepreneur “THE FULL OVERVIEW OF HIRING, MANAGING + LEADING A TEAM (EVEN IF YOU JUST STARTED)” · Get the Profit & Loss Statement with The Doers Free Trial! ----- Into it?
