Other Quotes From the Chat with Amanda W Rabideau:
- “I’ve learned a lot about the dedication that it takes and the hard work that it takes to build a business. And I’ve also learned things that are parts of being an entrepreneur that I don’t want to replicate and I am like there has got to be a better way to do this to”
- “When I look back on my journey, I like what would I have changed? Like what would I have done differently? And there isn’t really a whole lot because from all of it I’ve learned and then I’ve been able to apply those learnings to clients and other things because I work with start-ups. And so, if I’ve made a mistake, it’s helped me share advice to my clients you may not want to use this or I recommend using that. So, I don’t see any of the missteps as doing anything but helping serve me and how I move forward ”
- “Hard work is obviously a part of it, the importance of taking breaks as well… I need to make sure that there is time when I am not looking at my email… If at some point you don’t take the brakes you will burn out or maybe you will make a decision that you can’t come back from which I think would be terrible as an entrepreneur if you are working to build something and you have that kind of moment that can happen if you are tired or exhausted and fatigued and haven’t taken the time for the break. So, I would say finding that balance. And for every person is different but I think it’s very important to an entrepreneur”
- “Focus on the big things and the things that are really important don’t get caught up in the minutia”
