Laura’s Grandfather
When business started difficulties overcame:
“The biggest challenge I had to overcome was thinking I should be the one to do it all. Just because I can do the book work, answer the phones, run my database, doesn’t mean I should be doing it. Those are not my highest and best uses. And I was always afraid of hiring an assistant or getting help and what I realised once I did it was it allows me to make more money faster because I am focused on the part of the business, I am naturally good at. And then all of the other things that I am not good at I leverage out to other people”…[Listen for More]

Best Advice to Other Entrepreneurs:
“don’t listen to the naysayers. I think that entrepreneurs are a rare breed and being an entrepreneur isn’t for everyone. And so often times we go to family and friends for advice and it’s important to keep in mind that they are giving advice based on who they are and not who you are. And so have confidence in who you are and if you stay resourceful you will be able to get through the challenges of being an entrepreneur. But be careful who you go to for advice.

Other Quotes From the Chat with Laura Treonze:
- “There are so many things I have learned along the way… I the biggest one is going for it sooner. If I had believed in myself enough to be a coach, I would be five years into this career with that much more experience, coaching that many more people, impacting that many more lives. So, getting clarity on what I wanted to experience as my lives work and then taking steps to make that happen sooner so that I didn’t just respond to job opportunities that were around. And instead create a career that is long lasting. I can’t even imagine retiring from this because it doesn’t even feel like work for me. So, if I had done that sooner everything would have sped up”
- “One of the secrets that I full-back on just a willingness to be resourceful. Looking at whatever it is you want to achieve and throwing away the handbook on how to get there and just being really open to all of the different ways that you can achieve it. And it’s just amazing how the brain works when you are open to finding other ways other ways and help you get to your goals faster. And then when things don’t work out you are not wedded to it, it doesn’t matter okay I am just moving on to the next thing. It takes some of the emotion out of things that could be construed as failure when trying something different how could that be a failure?”
