Listen in app
Shownotes: http://fizzleshow.co/323
How do you hold onto the energy and excitement of the early stages of your business? How do you sustain this “freshness” over the long run?
Maybe you're lost and feel stuck before you've even begun...
Either way, you need direction! And this direction is made up of two very important things:
We want you to find exactly what your business is talking about as soon as possible!
Just as important is who you’re talking to.
These two pillars, your message and your audience, are really at the heart of any business but are especially the guiding lights in the beginning. Without them you will almost definitely be lost at sea!
In this episode we embark on part two of the roadmap series and we are delving into the nerves and excitement that accompany getting serious in following your entrepreneurial dreams. This combination of feelings, we find, is so common for a lot of us; as we see the possibilities they can also be daunting.
This episode can help you move through these waters and not get stuck in paralysis!
We also talk about using your own experience and questions to guide your work, the 80% confidence rule and finding the one person that your business is serving. So for all this and more, join us we do it all!
