031: Lessons In Leadership In Your Early 20s with Trevor Oldham
Manage episode 298983776 series 2804959
Are you in your 20s with dreams of launching and scaling a business? Are you worried about your chances of success? You’re not alone. Most people will argue that you’re too young and lack professional experience. Some will further highlight that you’re not mature enough to handle the responsibility of owning and operating a business. That may be true, but don’t let the naysayers dissuade you from becoming an entrepreneur. After all, the only way to achieve your goals is through trial and error. Just do what you have to do to get it done, no matter the odds. Remember, some of the most successful and notable entrepreneurs of today launched their business in the 20s, some in their teens. The likes of Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg, and Mark Cuban are people you should look up to.
Of course, the path to successful entrepreneurship is not without its fair share of difficulty. People sometimes work years without earning a single penny or witness several of their businesses fail one after another. But they braved the storm, and today we’re pleased to have one such entrepreneur. Trevor Oldham is a serial entrepreneur and the founder of Podcasting You, a podcast booking agency that helps real estate investors raise capital, generate more exposure, and increase their networking opportunities. We talk about the difficulties of running a business in your 20s, proper onboarding and training of new employees, and the money mindset.
