Insights from this interview with Beth Oakes
In spite of her corporate experience, Beth has always seen herself as an entreprenuer.
Entrepreneurs can make their own decisions and they can fall by them.
This industry of coaching executives and managers is new within the last 5 to to 10 years and it is growing. Corporate executives and managers have much less time to mentor and guide their staff.
Coaching can be like being a parent…
As an entrepreneur you worry about the cash flow and you can be lonely.
Advice to an entrepreneur: Write a good business plan and create an advisory board.
Steel on the outside – cotton on the inside.
Building a good network is much more than making friends.
