Do you want to be right or be successful? Today’s guest, Jean Otte, knew from the beginning that her business wasn’t all about her – it was bigger than her, and she’s giving us some great tips on how we can put our egos in the closet without leaving behind our identity or our goals.
Even if you’ve already started your business, you can still build a team, establish a way to check yourself, and still leave room for further growth and learning from all sides of your business plan. Jean also offers great insights on why she decided to create an advisory board right away and how she went about doing it.
