Startup Selling: Talking Sales with Scott Sambucci Scott Sambucci

Go Farther Episode #16: You are not alone - Why we do this
 
In this episode, we had a genuine human-to-human conversation. As entrepreneurs, we're often expected to wear a mask or a Superman cape, but what’s real is behind all that.
I shared a day where I ended feeling exasperated and frustrated. If you're a parent, spouse, or partner and an entrepreneur, you’ve likely had days like this. Knowing I'm not alone reminded me that others are going through similar challenges.
If you’re working hard to build a company and feeling overwhelmed, remember you're not alone. There are people facing far worse issues than billing problems or juggling family roles. This repost serves as a reminder that our challenges are real, but so is our ability to overcome them.
