Maybe you used to work in the corporate world before you had your own business, in HR or sales. Tell us about the skills you brought with you which you use every day and feel thankful for.
I worked as a strategist in advertising prior to running my own business and it taught me how to find and dissemenate information from a broad range of sources that I’m still grateful for. It showed me what was possible with giant budgets, which I then had to try and replicate on my tiny ones. It also showed me what I didn’t want my brand to be and gave me the confidence to lead with community first.
Very useful comments, thanks @Cat_Goodwin, it seems to me that business success is so much about building a community that will follow you anywhere.
