Key takeaways:
- Kind of continuing a theme we started last time on the show with Casey and Matt Iseman, Nicole took the risk to go talk to Alicia Sacramone, a silver medalist with the 2008 United States Olympic team, and the second most decorated American gymnast in world champion history. They hit it off, and Alicia is now Vice President of the company, and had Nicole not had the courage to approach her, who knows where her business might be today. In the end, it’s all about connections, and all people are looking for connections and opportunities. And in this day and age, with all the tools out there, it’s easier than ever before to connect.
- Your time is not only valuable and deserves compensation, but your services reflect not only you but your contractors and team as well. If you go above and beyond, you deserve to set your prices accordingly and get paid. You can’t make a living doing your hobby for free. If you are a passion driven entrepreneur, make sure you have somebody to keep you in check.
- Streamlining your business practices allows you to be more efficient and service more people with your processes and behind the scenes tasks, and in doing so actually allows for MORE individualization and creativity because you have not only saved time, but established boundaries to stimulate that creativity.
