In this episode Natalie and Ron discuss:
Balancing a corporate job and an entrepreneurial venture
What corporate leaders must focus on in today's world
Maintaining relationships and connectedness in the new normal
The LEAD framework
Doing the uncomfortable
Key Takeaways:
A corporate job and an entrepreneurial journey can be hard to balance, but if it's something you truly want and love, it doesn't feel like work.
Stress is a silent killer, so don't neglect your physical and mental well-being. Putting yourself first should always be your top priority so that when you show up, you show up in a way that is calmer and more focused.
Relationships and connectedness can still be maintained with the new normal; you just have to change the way meetings are structured.
Leading effectively requires learning about yourself, enrolling others in your vision, affiliating with the right people, and showing dedication.
It's often the uncomfortable things that lead to growth - push yourself out of your comfort zone and you'll find new opportunities.
"Stay committed to your goal and stay connected to your passion. The work becomes a passion in and of itself, and know why you want to do what you want to do." – Ron Skillens
