Although this interview was originally recorded for SoloMoms! Talk podcast, there are enough actionable tips and wisdom in this episode to re-publish so listeners of Tools of the Podcast Trade can find useful as well.
This is a very insightful conversation with entrepreneur Parker Harris. He shares his life-altering experience of consciously choosing to walk people out of his life, an act that carved out room for new beginnings and significant change. He also reveals how he carefully selects his inner circle and the impact it has had on his entrepreneurial journey.
Parker also talks about the necessary mindset shifts for pursuing your entrepreneurial dreams. We discussed the importance of finding joy in the work, exhibiting patience, learning to detach from failure, and thinking long-term.
We also throw a spotlight on the inadequacy of modern education in preparing individuals for entrepreneurship, stressing the necessity of relationship building and developing a positive relationship with failure.
Lastly, we discussed the importance of personal growth in business success with Parker's illuminating insights on decision-making, customer service, and the reality of plans not working out.
Balancing work-life, personal growth, and enjoying the process took precedence as we discussed managing noise, making fewer decisions, and thinking long-term. We also cover self-care and mindfulness through journaling, meditation, and adventure.
