117: 8 Years & 8 Mistakes (So You Don’t Have to Repeat Them)

Today, I celebrate 8 years in business, and in true realtalk fashion, I’m keeping it REAL so you don’t have to repeat it. In this episode I’m honest about: Following copy-and-paste frameworks I didn’t believe in Burning myself out where one day I slept at 9PM and woke up at 6PM the next day Hose I use to joke, “I’m a broken Asian - I don’t understand numbers” (until a mentor called me in) Thinking MORE is better (Spoiler alert: it’s not) AND - there’s so much to celebrate: I’m having the best year in business YTD both in revenue and profit margin (despite the chaos). It’s weird to feel both anger, and gratitude simultaneously Been working with more companies to create courses, curriculum and training that is fun and humorous. I’m going to even bring in some Muay Thai (more on this later) I won first place in my SCMSDC pitch competition, which I now have on video that you can watch on YouTube Supporting over 14k+ in 58 different countries through 1:1 coaching, my LinkedIn courses and partnerships with 30+ universities 300+ client testimonials Resources Mentioned:
