If you don’t know what to do before starting a business or side hustle, listen in, to avoid becoming the dreaded “nine out of ten businesses fail” statistic. With us today is Gabe Nelson, certified financial planner and business advisor, who has extensive experience advising with both new and established businesses.
A couple of decades ago, Gabe was in the position many entrepreneurs are in today. He was working seven days a week, almost living at the office, doing anything he could to build his business. Once his daughter was born, he knew he had to take a step back from the seven-day workweek. Then, his second and third daughter were born, forcing him to automate, delegate, and eliminate every unnecessary task on his plate.
Now, with a thriving firm, Gabe knows what does (and doesn’t) work for solopreneurs, and the systems they need to implement now to secure a happy life tomorrow.
