Hey there! I writing to you from Costa Rica this week. It’s a working vacation, and these views are inspiring me to do as little of that work as possible. 🙂
We’ve got a great episode of the podcast this week. One of the key points that you’ll hear is that no matter your current business model, you’re behaving “entrepreneurially” if you’re out there making it without traditional employment.
A common misconception related to becoming a “proper” entrepreneur (whatever) is that you have to transform into something you’re not in order to find success. In reality, the way it works is that you honestly assess exactly who you really are and play to your strengths.
That’s why I’m excited about this episode. We’re welcoming psychologist Sherry Walling back to the show, and this time her husband Rob Walling — the serial entrepreneur who founded email service Drip — is joining her to provide a pragmatic example of the entrepreneurial psyche.
