From Heartbreak to Hiring Smarter — How to Build a Business That Can Hold You, Even on the Worst Day with Talmar Anderson | 015
Manage episode 492490606 series 3617107
She lost her dad, canceled her first retreat, and nearly stayed stuck playing small – until she turned grief into her greatest leadership lesson.
When Talmar Anderson sold out her first-ever retreat, she thought she was finally hitting her stride as a business owner.
But life had other plans.
Just two weeks before the event, Talmar’s dad passed away unexpectedly. The retreat? Canceled. The money? Gone.
And what followed wasn’t just grief – it was years of staying small, convincing herself she didn’t need to lead live events, hiding behind “reasonable” business excuses.
But here’s the cool thing: Talmar stopped listening to that ‘reasonable voice’ that was holding her down and came back stronger, built a business she loves, and now teaches entrepreneurs how to build teams that can hold them – especially on their hardest days.
In this conversation, we talk about turning curveballs into clarity, hiring without sabotaging your business, and how finding the right team is the ultimate freedom.
