Welcome back, babes, to The Jillian Murphy Show! Entrepreneurship is often glamorized in this technology era but the reality requires extreme resilience and a willingness to fail repeatedly. Today I am sitting down with the incredible Stephanie Ross to talk about the power of real life community and massive events. We are diving deep into how she built a thriving ecosystem in the Midwest while raising a little human.
Topics Covered:
- The reality of growing up in an entrepreneurial household and how it shaped a lifetime of business building.
- Why entrepreneurship is not for everyone and the specific traits required to survive the inevitable seasons of failure.
- How specialized mentors and coaches provide the necessary accountability to help you grow in every area of your life.
- Your capacity for business might change as a new mom but efficiency becomes your greatest superpower for reaching your dreams.
- Stephanie shares the raw story of losing her fitness studio and the pivotal moment she decided to start over.
- What it looks like to build a sustainable business model that allows for a full maternity leave and presence with family.
- When you see a gap in your local networking scene you have the power to create the event yourself.
- Chapter licensing allows leaders to build authority using a proven brand and curriculum instead of building a community from the ground up.
“You cannot be a perfectionist and be a successful entrepreneur. You really can't.” – Stephanie
