EP92: How And When To Pivot as an Entrepreneur With Amanda Quinn And Laura Jackson

Jan 24, 2019

Get yourself ready for an episode full of inspiration and actionable advice!

I’m joined by Amanda and Laura from FIT CHICKS, where we learn how they followed their passion and overcame their fears to build a successful business. We talk about why it’s important to push away negative people in your life (even if it sometimes means firing a client or two!), why it’s important to listen to your market to keep your products and services fresh, and why sharing a piece of your personal life on social media can be a business decision.

We also talk about why you need to invest in your mind as much as you do in your business, and why there’s no such thing as overnight successes (hint: It’s all about persistence in the journey).

This episode is full of gems that you’ll keep wanting to come back to, so let’s jump right in!
