In this episode I speak with Eric Turnnessen, the founder of a software company Membermouse, a musician, a coach and a teacher, among many things. Eric shares his unconventional advice about running a business that relies more on intuition and your vision rather than blueprints and failproof methods.  We talk about patience and consistency, assessing your strengths, engaging with your customers to figure out how you can improve what's working and change what's not. Eric shares why "negative" emotions should not be perceived as a "sign to stop," rather to persevere. We talk about distractions and how to discern what takes us off our course.
