Entrepreneurial Role Models:
When business started difficulties overcame:
“when I started my business I feel like I had any difficulties when I first started it because I had a big corporate client and I just went to work. That lack of difficulties didn’t last very long. And when I really look back I can say I didn’t have a niche, I relied on just that big contract and both of those things came back to bite me in the butt certainly more than one time in my 10 years as an entrepreneur”…[Listen for More]

Other Quotes From the Chat with Lisa Rehurek:
- “I think being okay and being a little selfish if you will with knowing who I did and I didn’t want to work with… There is a line of here are the people that are going to pay for what you offer and then here on the flipside maybe is the people that you want to work with. But where does that intersect? And it’s okay if there is certain types of people you don’t want to work with. If we just have somebody who needs a lot of handholding and isn’t willing to listen to anything that we say and isn’t willing to implement and just wants us to come in, respond to the RFP for them it’s not the best fit for us. We want to make long lasting change for people and we value working with organisations that value that functionality within the organisation and what RFPs can do for their business. So just understanding that and it’s okay to say no to business and that’s a hard thing to do certainly when you are starting out”
- “being very self-aware and being humble to some degree in the fact that we continuously need to learn, we are not always the smartest people in the room, that we don’t need to know everything, that our team around us can provide information and solutions better than I can in a lot of ways. That’s actually sometimes makes me uncomfortable because I am still learning that that’s okay and I have to remind myself. I think that that is important to success. I think it’s really important to surround yourself by people that can help you but just keep yourself in check. Be very self-aware about what you are good at and what you are not good at”
- “healthy ego is good but beyond healthy ego you are just hurting yourself , you are hurting your business. And it’s hard but the more self-aware we are in the more self-reflective we are we can really take a step back when that starts to happen when our ego comes into play and just have a gut check their and let it go. So, I would say those are some of the most important things that I feel. The more intangibles if you will ”
