My Interview on the ‘Behind the Brilliance’ Podcast with Lisa Nicole Bell.

So last month, I had the pleasure of chatting with Lisa Nicole Bell – badass babe, Serial Entrepreneur, Producer & Creator of Behind The Brilliance, an amazing weekly podcast that brings you some seriously bomb interviews with major movers and shakers and the world’s most inspiring treps and innovators. Let me tell you, if you are a woman, entrepreneur (or even a wantrepreneur) & millennial, her podcast is one you should definitely subscribe to. She is my type of bossbabe as she keeps it real, tells it like it is, she asks the hard questions you want answers to (business + personal + everything in between) and not to mention, she’ll have you rolling and busting out loud laughing too.

And as per usual, I dropped major gems during my interview with Lisa. We chatted about a range of topics including my lifestyle design, time management, finding bliss, starting a business with next to nothing, leaving a six figure income job at Kraft, my fav books and why Burlington Coat Factory is not the go to destination for luxury lingerie. Ahhhhhh…Just press play and listen below, don’t forget to let me know your thoughts in the comment section below.

Happy listening!

Entrepreneurship, Lifestyle

Are you a Wantrepreneur or an Entrepreneur?

Gone are the days when the only path to success includes going to college, getting a degree, landing a job at a prestigious multinational company, and climbing up the corporate ladder. In these current times, the uncertainty around job security is driving more people to try their hands at starting their own business in hopes of achieving financial freedom. But while everyone is after success entrepreneurship, only a few actually earn it.

There’s a huge difference between an entrepreneur and wantrepreneur, which basically refers to a person who ventures into entrepreneurship but fall short of their goals.

Someone who “will find the right idea some day!”  Someone who wants to “act” like an entrepreneur, a “wannabe”.  Someone who “thinks about starting a business” all the time. Ha!

Let’s take a closer look at the differences between the wannabes and real entrepreneurs. Which one describes you?

 

1: Wishful Thinking vs. Getting Started

When it comes down to it, you can only bring a business idea to life by taking action. Let’s face it, progress is only made if you roll up your sleeves and actually do something because there’s no getting around hard work. There’s a fine line between wishful thinking, dreaming and having an achievable goal, and that’s what separates real entrepreneurs and the wannabes.

Wantrepreneurs read a lot of books, talk and plan all day, but they never really get started on anything worth noting. On the other hand, real entrepreneurs set clear-cut and attainable goals and then do what they say they’re going to do. So, whether you have to save money to raise capital, research a target market, compile a business plan, lease office space, or ship supplies, entrepreneurs just do it.
