In this episode, I have a great conversation with Jason Treu who does business and senior executive coaching for high performers. He is the author of Social Wealth: How to Build Extraordinary Relationships By Transforming the Way We Live, Love, Lead and Network. I also take a quick trip down memory lane and look back at my first year in this business. It’s incredible how my perspective has changed just looking back at my decisions. I honestly think all entrepreneurs are better off when surrounded by people who are strong where they are weak. I also think all entrepreneurs are at their best when they have mentors, masterminds, and coaches to help them see things they could never see on their own.

I nearly laughed out loud writing that, but I know that it is simply fear of the unknown disguised in a different way. I spoke to Dave Sanderson this week who is best known for being the last passenger off of flight 1549 which landed on the Hudson River in January of 2009.

The heart and soul of this episode is about stepping out of your comfort zone every time you want to grow in your business.
