Learning and Moving Forward
Rite of Passage: Transitioning from Wantrepreneur to Entrepreneur provides readers with a transformative approach to enhancing business leadership designed to increase productivity and achievement. What inspired you to write this book?
In business culture, showing fear and unconsciously exhibiting self-doubt is perceived as weakness and a lack of confidence. This can cause major problems, including customer loss or employee turnover. These emotions are rarely discussed and can lead to mental and physical health issues in addition to potential business failure. By writing Rite of Passage, I wanted to bring these unspoken challenges to the surface and offer tangible support to fellow entrepreneurs.
What is your experience in the business world, and how did it help you write Rite of Passage?
In addition to having corporate experience, I have several years of first-hand entrepreneurial experience. I co-founded a Software as a Service (SaaS) company that began with a Flipchart diagram. We went on to earn a U.S. patent, built the business from the ground up, and successfully exited in 2020. I now consult and coach entrepreneurs. Essentially, Rite of Passage is my journey, and it’s consistent with that of other entrepreneurs.
What is one piece of advice you wish you had been given when you were younger?
I tend to be hard on myself if things do not go right the first time. The one piece of advice that would have helped me as a new entrepreneur is, “It’s okay to make mistakes. It means you’re learning. However, repeating the mistake is being careless, and that’s unacceptable if you want to be successful. So, keep learning and moving forward.”
What is the next book you are working on, and when will it be available?
The next book will focus on how to establish a personal brand online. It will pick up where Rite of Passage left off. It will be a blueprint to help entrepreneurs become thought leaders by publishing thought-provoking content and getting through the online noise to connect with potential customers. The alternative is to remain the best-kept secret online.
In 2024 and beyond, LinkedIn will be your resume, your digital entity (content publication across the Internet in addition to your website) will be your portfolio, and Google Page 1 will be your business card.
