The 5 Mistakes I’ve Made Along the Way

JESSICA DEROSE
About this episode

In this episode of The Digital Business Evolution Podcast, Jess shares with us a value-filled exchange that outlines the five mistakes– that are really just lessons– that have shaped how her business runs to this day. The evolution that Jess’s own business has undergone with these lessons can serve as a beacon for other entrepreneurs to look to to gain confidence and validation, that even though these obstacles have presented themselves, it is something to grow through rather than just go through.

Two lessons shared today are the most intrinsic in value when it comes to being an entrepreneur. Don’t get distracted by shiny objects and not getting into this mindset as entrepreneurs have everything figured out. There is no need to put the immense pressure on ourselves that this mentality can cause– we are not in the “Sororities or Fraternities of Suffering” and can let our egos get out of the way so our businesses can evolve and flourish. This is value packed episode for new and seasoned entreprenurs you dont want to miss. 

As always, cheers to your evolution!

Key Takeaways:

  • Learn all about hiring slow and firing fast rather than hiring reactivily leading to mistakes.

  • Learn why its so important to put your life first and then the business. 

  • Learn why you dont have to know everything to start or even run the business. You learn as you go!
