Tenacity is the New Audacity

If you’re in a dry spell when it comes to cultivating new, fresh ideas and inspiration for your business, you’re far from alone.
​
In fact, I often find that it’s not until I step outside of my online coach and creator bubble and listen to someone who runs a completely different business than me that I get my mojo back, lol.
​
​And maybe that’s the case for you, too? Maybe you’re tired of listening to the same old regurgitated information and stale ideas within your industry?​
​
​If so, I really encourage you to tune in to today’s On Your Terms podcast episode with guest Sydney Karmes-Wainer, owner and founder of French Squirrel, a French-inspired CPG food brand.​
​
​Sydney and I chat about…​
​
➡️ Creating a consumer-packaged good product
​
➡️ How to go from creating a food item for fun to owning a commercial kitchen space
​
➡️ And finally getting her product on the shelves of stores like Erewhon and The Fresh Market!
​
My goal with these episodes is to bring you more business ‘North Stars.’ People you want to be more like, even if they’re doing something completely opposite of you.
​
​Even if you have no desire to create a physical product, I need you to trust me on this, okay? You never know when a new idea or inspiration is going to strike, but I guarantee you’ll get some ideas from this episode.
​
​My top 4 takeaways from today’s episode are:​
​
👉🏼 Her take on competition and how not having to be the “most unique” is refreshing
​
👉🏼 How focusing on quality sets you apart
​
👉🏼 That she wasn’t afraid to experiment, and how experimenting allowed everything to fall together
​
👉🏼 How having a tenacious, go-getter attitude will take you a long way even when people say no at first
