Key Interview Takeaways
“If you don’t get hit, you’re not playing hard enough.” In the world of business, expect to encounter setbacks. Havenwood was hit hard when a business partner emptied their accounts and left her with immense debt, but she started over and achieved great success once again.
Tap into what you’re good at. Entrepreneurship is about more than just making money, it’s about building a business around your strengths and helping other people achieve. Havenwood shares this lesson in her book, Sexy Boss.
Give yourself permission to fail. Though we’re taught as kids to avoid failure at all costs, the world of business requires that we give ourselves permission to miss the mark on occasion. It’s okay to create something that doesn’t work; the failure of a marketing funnel or a particular product does not reflect a personal failure.
See through a business lens. Though it can be difficult to avoid making decisions based on emotion, it is important to shift your mindset. Havenwood recommends gaining perspective by asking pragmatic questions: What’s working? What isn’t? How can we fix it? Is the timing right?
