Ever felt handcuffed by the pursuit of perfection in your business? Join me, Jennifer Dollander, as I share the liberating secret of my success: it's all about progress, not perfection. With over twenty years of entrepreneurial savvy, this episode peels back the curtain on how this mantra can revolutionize your startup and growth strategies. From the humble beginnings of my stationary company to the digital hurdles at Alumni Cookie Dough, I reveal the tales of triumph over the perfectionism that can stall many from launching their dreams into reality. Learn why action—flawed but fearless—is the true currency of a thriving business owner.
This week, we also dissect the entre of genuine belief in your product, and why it's the heartbeat of customer retention.
