125 How to find courage

LISA JOHNSON
About this episode

Today I want to talk about patience, resilience and why success doesn’t happen overnight. Building a business takes time and a whole lot of courage. Joining me to discuss how to create and cultivate courage is Psychologist, Psychotherapist and coach, Nova Cobban. 

What You’ll Learn In This Episode: 

- Nova’s entrepreneurial journey, what each venture has taught her and why the first business you start is rarely the last. 

- Courage is something you create, you can’t wait for it to come to you. Nova shares how to start building courage by taking small steps that soon add up and move you towards your goals.

- How to start trusting yourself, listening to your intuition and learning from every no and every perceived failure.

- The most common fears Nova hears working with founders and how she helps people face them by coming at them from a different angle.
