Key Topics Covered:
-
No Clear Vision
Many entrepreneurs are flying by the seat of their pants. Tina shares how crucial it is to define your version of success and reverse-engineer the path to get there. -
Poor Time Management
Being busy ≠ being productive. Use ruthless prioritization and weekly planning to stay focused on high-impact tasks—those that bring joy, enhance customer experience, or make you money. -
Inconsistent Sales
Avoid “feast or famine” cycles by building predictable sales systems. Balance launches with evergreen marketing efforts and build your email list continuously. -
Weak Financial Controls
Know your numbers! Regularly monitor revenue, expenses, and the sources of your income. Use targets and cash flow forecasting to avoid surprises. -
Fear of Visibility
Fear often stands between you and growth. Start small with visibility—like Instagram stories—and build your courage through practice, focusing on who you serve rather than yourself. -
Undercharging for Services
Price based on the value and transformation you provide—not your time or number of lessons. Align your pricing with your confidence and competitor analysis. -
Hiring Challenges
Don’t hire too early or too late. Systemize and outsource tasks thoughtfully, and aim to hire people who can take full ownership of their responsibilities. -
Shiny Object Syndrome
Stay focused! Resist the urge to constantly pivot. Rinse and repeat your core offers at least three times before considering a major change. -
Not Enough Thinking Time
Schedule regular “CEO” thinking time to evaluate what’s really moving the needle and to course-correct as needed. -
Trying to Do it All Alone
Building a support system—both in your business and at home—is essential for sustainability. Delegate, automate, and eliminate wherever possible.
Business will always present new challenges, but every obstacle is 100% solvable when you approach problems as opportunities to level up. Accept these challenges as part of the entrepreneur’s journey, and remember: enjoy the process!
