The path to doing what you love is not always straight forward, and sometimes the hardest part of becoming an entrepreneur is figuring out what you don't know and trying to fill those gaps in knowledge as quickly as possible. Before he became an accomplished author, successful entrepreneur, and popular podcast host, Steve Glaveski, author of Employee to Entrepreneur, was there himself, which is why he decided to write a book that provides a blueprint for people that want to be freed from the corporate world and learn how to become creators and entrepreneurs.  In this interview Steve describes how he went from being a corporate employee that didn't feel purpose in his life to starting multiple successful businesses and building a life where he can create impact for the world. He provides highly tactical and actionable advice describing exactly how he built his businesses, from how he scheduled hundreds of meetings with prospective customers and leveraged press to raise money, to the actual tools that he uses to automate tasks and accomplish all of his goals.  We also discuss what Steve did to grow his team at his current company, Collective Campus, a corporate innovation and startup accelerator, and why he thinks it's so important to outsource certain parts of your job as quickly as possible to focus on high value activities like business development and strategy to accelerate your business growth.   See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
