Entrepreneurship Feels Like Climbing a Mountain | Part 2: Support, Expectations and Discipline [FOUNDER REALITY]

Entrepreneurship changes how you see people, what you expect from them and what support really means.

This is Part 2 of my conversation with Rasheed, entrepreneur and host of Entrepreneurs Stories Podcast.

In this episode, we talk about the personal side of building a business and the part that affects your life outside of work.

What we discussed:

Why not everyone will understand your journey
Why your close circle isn’t your target audience
How your priorities and lifestyle naturally evolve
Friendships, expectations and letting go
Choosing energy over expectations

🎧 If you haven’t listened yet, start with Part 1: Clients, boundaries and the people around you.
