Have you ever wondered how to minimize risk and find fulfillment as an entrepreneur?

In this episode, I'm diving deep into the practical steps you can take to ease into entrepreneurship without sacrificing your financial stability or peace of mind. As more Americans embrace side hustles and freelancing, I'm sharing insights on how to navigate this exciting but sometimes daunting journey. Today, I'm giving you a roadmap to success that combines faith, family involvement, and a strengths-based approach to business building.

Key Points/Topics I Cover

• The three approaches to easing into entrepreneurship (long runway, side hustle, and gradual steps)
• How to test and adjust your business idea with minimal risk
• The importance of aligning your business with your natural talents and strengths
• Strategies for involving your family in your entrepreneurial journey
• My unique approach to setting realistic goals and celebrating small milestones
• The power of seeking guidance through prayer and trusting your intuition

Inspiring Quotes: 

“God has given you strengths and talents inside of you. He's already equipped you for this.” 

“If God puts an idea in our heart and our soul and our brain, he has equipped us with what we need. We just need to tap into them.” 

“When you build a business around your strengths, you can create something meaningful and sustainable.”

Are you ready to start your own entrepreneurial journey? I invite you to reflect on these questions:

1. What does success look like for you in your first year of business?
2. What's one small action step you can take tomorrow towards your entrepreneurial dream?
3. How can you involve your family in building your business?

Sheri Miter Serial Entrepreneur

Sheri Miter is a serial entrepreneur. Her first business was selling painted rocks to neighbors when she was 7! This entrepreneurial spirit led her to many failures but also some huge successes, such as a Chimney Cleaning business with her husband Tom, a professional firefighter, and eventually a business as a Mary Kay sales director. While in Mary Kay, Sheri led her team to six-figure years multiple times, and YES, she drove the iconic pink Cadillac for part of her career!

Despite her success as a Sales Director in Mary Kay, Sheri found herself at a crossroads after 25 years. She began to question if this was the path she truly wanted for the next decade of her life. Even after achieving her best year, she felt a sense of weariness and asked herself, 'Is it ever going to be enough?' This internal struggle led her to a brave decision- to step away from her role as a Sales Director and embark on a new journey. This journey led her to become a Gallup Certified CliftonStrengths Coach. Today, Sheri has crafted a life she loves, assisting other highly successful women to discover their 'what’s next' career. She is passionate about working with women who have achieved success making the money, but are now eager to make an impact by unleashing their God-given strengths and embracing their true calling!

When Sheri isn’t busy with her clients or recording a new podcast, she cherishes her time with her grandkids and embarks on exciting adventures with her husband. Their escapades often include the beach, biking, or out boats. At the end of a fulfilling day, they savor the beauty of the sunset with a cocktail in hand, a testament to Sheri's belief in enjoying life's journey.

Sheri’s Top 5 CliftonStrengths: Futuristic, Maximizer, Self-Assurance, Command, Strategic.

Her motto is “Life is way too short, so we HAVE to enjoy the journey.”
