Entrepreneurial Role Models:
When business started difficulties overcame:
“Well, I didn’t know what I was doing. I had literally gone from being I cannot wait to be an employee for somebody to learn how to do this to I’ve got to do this, all of it on my own. So my biggest hurdle was complete and total ignorance. And I had never been to business school, I had never worked for an agency, I had never worked for a design company, I had zero experience, none. That’s a pretty big hurdle to just start something with some skills. And yet I was young and excited and I had just come out of being successful in school for many many many years and I said I’m going to do this.

Other Quotes From the Chat with Erin Pheil:
- “sometimes when you don’t know what you don’t know all of the fears and worries and what ifs and this has happened. It doesn’t even occur to you that things could go wrong or there could be catastrophes or that other people have failed. You just sit there and go I can do this”
- “I fell into the I am a highly competent person so it’s best if I do everything myself mistake”
- “I didn’t understand the power of delegation”
- “you can’t scale the more you cling to. And it took me quite a long time to learn that lesson, extremely long time, I wasted years of business thinking that I had to do everything myself and nothing could get done unless I did it and I had known power of proper delegation long ago I could have experienced a much different rate of growth”
- “I feel that the people who are able to get out of their own way and to get rid of all the head trash and outdated mental programming that sitting in their head that causes them to get stuck in to slowdown and to experience all sorts of emotional behavioural patterns that don’t serve them. I have seen that when people get rid of those things first they truly become unstoppable. And so many of the problems that typical entrepreneurs run into they don’t deal with, they bypass them, they get things done at three times the speed, their revenues skyrocket…”
- “there are other ways to work it’s not all about working hard, it doesn’t all have to be working long hours, you can work smart, you don’t have to grind and hustle”
