The challenges and rewards of building a successful business

I recently had the pleasure of joining Rohit Kokane on his podcast to discuss business, entrepreneurship, and personal growth. As a growth stage consultant, speaker, and podcast host myself, I shared several key insights from my experiences. Here's an overview (get timestamps here) - tune in for the entire episode!


Balancing Businesses as a Multi-Passionate Entrepreneur

  • I discussed my journey managing both an offline corporate consulting business (since 2003) and online platforms like my podcast "OnAir with Ella" (started in 2015). These ventures have very different demands and require distinct approaches!

  • I candidly shared how my business motivations were primarily financial when I began my career. Over time, this evolved into seeking more meaningful and purposeful work.


Creating Value vs. Seeking Attention

  • In online businesses, there's often pressure to "cut through the noise" and seek attention. I've learned that focusing on creating value and seeking respect through competence is more effective. This shift in mindset makes business endeavors more rewarding and often easier.


The Importance of Relationships in Business

  • Whether in offline consulting or online platforms, relationships are crucial. I realized that even social media platforms like Instagram are spaces for genuine connection, not just promotion. Building relationships and adding value consistently is more effective than constant self-promotion.


Overcoming Fear and Perfectionism

  • I addressed how fear often masquerades as perfectionism or procrastination. The key question for each of us is: Would you rather risk failure by trying, or suffer the regret of never attempting your goals?

  • I emphasized that nobody truly knows what they're doing when stretching beyond their comfort zone! I encourage you to start your journey, regardless of perceived shortcomings.
