There are three things that Lori and I wish we would’ve known at the beginning of our careers that would’ve helped us collapse time and experience more sustainable growth. Over the years, we’ve learned how important it is to prioritize equal-energy relationships, invest in the right employees and mentors, and turn down opportunities that aren’t aligned with our goals. In this episode, we reflect on some of the major lessons we’ve learned and tools we use to stay focused.    IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Following the energy instead of trying to force relationships  The consequences of being afraid to spend money on quality mentorship and employees  Navigating the gray space when you’re faced with something good that doesn’t serve your long-term vision  Surrounding yourself with people who bring out the best version of you    RESOURCES Apply now for the 2023 Elite Mastermind: chrisharder.me/mastermind  Text DAILY to 310-421-0416 to get daily Money Mantras or Business Perspective messages to boost your day.     CONNECT WITH LORI Follow Lori: @loriharder Follow Lite Pink: @drinklitepink Follow Earn Your Happy: @earnyourhappy Follow Girlfriends & Business: @girlfriendsandbusiness Listen to Girlfriends & Business   CONNECT WITH CHRIS Follow Chris: @chriswharder Visit Chris’ Website: chrisharder.me
