3 Value Bombs
1) Put together a process—a workflow chart. Map it out and put together a nice solution and have it all written out where you can hand it off to somebody who can take care of the problem the next time it happens.
2) As entrepreneurs, the failures are what actually grow us stronger to prepare us to have successes. If we don’t have the failures, we’re just not going to prepare properly to have success or deal with things as they come about in life.
3) Step into your fear and figure out, no matter what your journey is, what entrepreneurial avenue you’re taking.
