Ep: 86 - What Experience Teaches That Time Alone Cannot
Ever wondered if you truly have years of experience or if you’ve just lived the same year over and over again? In this episode of Mixing Family and Business, I dig into that question alongside Shirley, Tom, and Kim. We explore the real value of experience versus time, sharing stories from our own businesses about how lessons learned only come from actually doing the work. From catching huge mistakes because of past experience to learning the importance of prioritizing our energy, we reveal what it means to keep growing in a changing world.
There’s also a candid look at what we had to unlearn on our entrepreneurial journeys, letting go of “doing it all ourselves,” embracing new technology, and trusting systems to scale our businesses. If you’ve ever felt stuck, you’ll find encouragement and practical tips on how to get unstuck and see things with fresh eyes. Tune in for some real talk, laughs, and actionable wisdom that will help you run multiple businesses and still enjoy life outside of work!
See you next episode. Stay driven and keep changing!
