Episode-2428- Cory McElroy on Building a Business Based on Your Passion — 2 Comments

  1. What a great guest and case study in how to start and run a successful business!

    Unfortunately, like college, starting a business has been overly romanticized the past few decades.  There is nothing romantic about the years of stress, forgoing sleep and family demands it takes to build a sustainable and profitable business, but more often than not, that’s what it takes.

    There are always exceptions but, anyone who cringed at the part where he said use your extra free time to work more after completing your 60 hour work week probably  isn’t ready to start a business.
