What holds you back from starting your own business? The fear of failure? Pride? Or is it the shame? Whatever it is, it’s human nature. There will be a time in your life when desperation is the motive that drives you to start your own business. When that time comes, the seven essential truths of building a business that we discuss in today’s episode will be there to guide you.

In this episode, Eric explains why you must have a motivating factor before starting your own business. According to him, a powerful and deeply rooted reason for pursuing your business will help you endure the tough times and stay committed to your vision. Eric also comments on mastering the ability of influence. He explains that by being authentic, you'll attract customers, employees, and collaborators who believe in you and your vision because people tend to shy away from anything that feels fake or inauthentic. He also discusses the importance of balancing humility, self-awareness, and a willingness to learn, which not only helps you grow but also enables you to build a team that complements your skills, which is crucial for long-term success.
