The first lesson I have learned this year at least that come to my mind right now is " procrastinating " and being lazy leads no where.

@FlexNFly 4 года назад

So true lovely. We have to have a sense of urgency with ourselves because truth is, we are not promised tomorrow.

@kemzi2454 4 года назад

My biggest lesson as an entrepreneur is to "Respect MY Journey" i.e. not measure myself in comparison with others, not overthink, and simply JOY IN EVERY STEP I'm able to take & KEEP ON DREAMING.

@raurensiamwanakatwe9131 2 года назад

One lesson I've learned so far is, not to expect my friends and family to be supportive 😊

@Bombyas 4 года назад

One lesson I’ve learned this year is to not forget about yourself. Sometimes we can get so wrapped up in trying to become successful, make money and forming a great business that we forget about self care. Your business can’t be ok if you aren’t. I ran into a deep depression from being overwhelmed with no self care but this year will be different 🙏🏾 Thanks Erin for your tips this entire year and motivation ❤️

@fellfell2787 4 года назад

Lesson: Patience is key, sis. Timing is everything, and everything in God's time 🙏🏽

@ceoebonie 4 года назад

I've learned the importance of setting business boundaries. I had no discipline. Everyone had access to me all times if the day. I had to learn how to set work hours and stick to them! Sometimes we're working all around the clock which doesnt allow time for mental rest. Everything I learned last year has positioned me to be a better business owner and individual this year. 💪🏾

@B.laguerre 4 года назад

The biggest lesson I learned is how to balance my personal life and business. Sometimes I get so caught up on the business, I miss quality time to spend with loved ones. One action step I'm taking is by creating a time scheduled of when my work day is complete.

@STARSENMT 4 года назад

My biggest lesson that I learned as an entrepreneur is to move in silence! Announcing my moves allowed other people to place their opinions of doubt on my business.

@ESimms 4 года назад

One thing I’ve learned in my short 4 months of being an entrepreneur is having BOUNDARIES!!!! I worked for an establishment for 5 years and built a client base. Once I went out on my own I found that a lot of my clients who had been doing business with me many years starting asking for things that they would have never asked of the establishment because they felt like now I was keeping all the money to myself. That’s the furthest thing from the truth so I had to stand my ground and really lean into my skill to build my business. I lost a few clients but I didn’t take it personal. 🤷🏽‍♀️

I’ve been off and on with my business but now I am in the position to fully focus on growing my business full time. The biggest lessons I’ve learned is don’t give up and don’t listen to everyone’s opinion. Keep going and know that everyone who offers an opinion may not understand your industry, your mission, your vision, and/or your journey. Mama, you’re so DOPE ❤️.

1. Be adaptable 2. Have Tough Skin 3. Set Boundaries 4. Document Everything 5. Get Help 6. Follow Up 7. Negotiating 8. Small Impact First 9. Be Diligent with your money 10. Over delivering 11. Top 3 Priorities With these tips I’ve learned the importance of getting help when necessary because my attitude when starting my journey as entrepreneur the more I know how to do myself the more marketable and valuable it will make me. I realize sometimes your business can get to the next level a lot faster if you ask for help or hire someone whose stronger in the areas your not. Also I’ve learned to do things on a smaller scale..I feel as if I overthink things at time and feel that there’s only one standard way to do things but I realize that I’d rather start small and make an impact on the community i live in and become know before expanding to a higher level. Sometimes I become too nice and forget my worth and want to do things for no pay and I’d rather have the credibility for my services. Thank you for your knowledge . I will be taking notes!!

@ferrinlavon9767 4 года назад

The biggest lesson I learned is a four year degree doesn’t mean much to companies when looking for a job. It’s more important to have a SKILL than a piece of paper that says you passed a few classes.

@mcnealco 4 года назад

Ferrin Lavon so true, and skill is developed through experience! Some degree programs are better than others because they have internships built into them.... but fortunately the internet opens up so many opportunities when we take a moment and step outside the box! What do you have a degree in?
