KEY TAKEAWAYS:
A successful business is more than dollars and cents.

A successful business should be one that is growing. If you’re doing well, people want more of your products/services and a healthy bottom line. A successful business is also one where people are engaged – not just doing what they are asked and doing things are their own initiative.

Continued growth and learning change throughout life.

College courses and degrees as well as continued reading with an open mind help to develop leadership skills. Additionally, exposing yourself to different cultures, people and non-profits is a great way to learn different ways of thinking. Continued learning is hard. Most people will stop, but something being hard is how you continue to grow.

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:

Take a few minutes to reflect on what you’ve heard and create some actionable next steps items. Below are a few questions based on the episode to help get you started on your speed mentorship journey.

• What do you want your legacy to be? Do those closest to you think you're living that legacy?
• Are you still passionate about your career path? What can you do differently to stay or be more passionate?
• How do you continue to learn and grow? What are ways that you could get uncomfortable to continue your growth?
