32:58

Are you able to go on vacation without feeling guilty? Many entrepreneurs are not able to fully turn off their head and disconnect from their businesses while trying to relax with their loved ones.

1y ago28:58

28:58

Do you allocate enough ‘thinking time’? In this episode, we uncover the secret weapon of successful entrepreneurs: time to think.

What happens when entrepreneurs are outside their zone of genius? 40:43

1+ y ago40:43

40:43

At the beginning stages of business, you often work from your Zone of Genius: doing what you love and are great at. The value you add is your company’s gold or even its USP.

37:31

Is your business your baby? If yes, what does that say about your emotional attachment to your company? And is that a good thing? As entrepreneurs, we are wired to CARE.

28:41

How can an entrepreneur simplify their business? 35:09

1+ y ago35:09

35:09

Have you complicated your business over the years? While a business starts with 1 great idea & simple processes, we scatter our business in many directions later on. We tend to overcomplicate our business with new strategies, tools, and long processes, and by (still) offering products & services that don’t perform. Most additions are often unimport…

Why letting employees truly own their job is beneficial to entrepreneurs 15:46

1+ y ago15:46

15:46

How often do you blame your team for not functioning at 100%? Do you feel too involved in the day-to-day? While it is easy to point fingers and try to control the operations, it is counterproductive.

How an entrepreneur can encourage criticism and alternative views? 15:32

1+ y ago15:32

15:32

As the leader of your business, often people aren’t honest with you. Yes-nodding might be part of your everyday business life. Or, they are not completely open about how they feel.

Why people pleasing as an entrepreneur is bad for business. 31:17

1+ y ago31:17

31:17

Some entrepreneurs/founders see their people-pleasing behavior as a badge of honor. Giving the investors, team and other stakeholders what they think they need.

How can your 2023 goals survive an entrepreneur's life? 14:32

1+ y ago14:32

14:32

Much of a founder’s direction can be characterized as “hope beyond reason” (with a nod to Bruce Springsteen for the phrase). But where is hope’s limit?

But we do it …

35:18

How I turned a long-lost childhood hobby into a professional gig. In 2018, I was doing work I enjoyed but I was missing the secret ingredient. I wasn't sure what it was, at all.

Aren't we all flying blind in our careers? Literally, nobody prepares us for work. Or explains how work 'works.

21:57

A lot of people say they're 'fine' in terms of work. But honestly, they are afraid to give in on the fact that their career is not what they'd like it to be ideally.
