When you stray off the path into the thick, wild jungle things get really tough really fast. It takes a tremendous amount of effort to move just a few feet at times, and there’s the constant question of whether you’re even heading in the right direction.
That’s what it’s like to be an entrepreneur.
Many of us turn back after just a little time in the jungle and never make the progress we dreamed of.
Whether your jungle is starting your own business, launching a new product, or trying anything new, Corbett Barr has some awesome wisdom to share with us to help you power through that transition.
Corbett shares with us:
- The challenges of making the jump from corporate world to entrepreneur
- What he did after his startup failed that led straight to what he’s doing now
- The mindset that fueled it all
