Conversations with Asha & Steve

Dr. Asha and Steve continue their series on The Banana Peels of Entrepreneurship. Being a successful entrepreneur requires dedication, hard work and resilience. It is not enough to just be passionate about your business - you must nurture all aspects of it yourself for true success! When everything works together in harmony, then your venture will reach its full potential.

Dr. Asha and Steve continue their series on The Banana Peels of Entrepreneuership. While hard work and dedication are essential building blocks of any successful business, it's just as important to get the word out. Without promotion, your company might never take off - so don't be afraid to spread the news about what you do.

Being your own cheerleader and spokesperson for your business is just as important as how many sales you make. Actually it is the way that your customers start to connect with you, build interest and trust in your service or product.  It's ok to be rooting for your business, there is nothing egotisitical about it. But as entrepreneurs we can be somewhat uncomfortable about it. Join us as we talk about becoming your #1 Cheerleader of your business.

Investment in yourself and your business is vitally important to your success as an entrepreneur. But how do you know where and when to invest your financial resources. .And better yet, when is it appropriate to take risks.  Join us as we discuss how to be financially responsible wherever you are in your entrepreneurial journey. 

We got such a huge reaction to our Banana Peels of Entrepreneurship series and specifically our last episode Avoiding Bad Hires, we needed to do a follow-up. Specifically to discuss what to do after you've already made a bad hire and the time has come to deal with it. The steely cold assassin of Dr. Asha will give you some great tips and strategies to make the process a bit more comfortable for all involved. Steve has a few of his own personal tips too but he was mainly taking notes of all the great stuff Asha was sharing. 

This was a super fun but very relevant topic for our entrepreneurs and business leaders out there that will inevitably have to deal with this at some point. We hope our approaches can help make it less uncomfortable and a bit easier to navigate.

We begin a new series called The Bananas Peels of Entrepreneurship where we explore the slippery challenges many of us face and want to avoid as we grow our companies.

This week, Asha and Steve dive into the very important topic of avoiding making bad hires. As we grow and scale, we need people. How do we make sure, in our rush to hire, we don't slip on the banana peel that could cost us tons of time and money of a poor hiring decision?

When faced with a struggle, it can be difficult to find your way forward and see a clear path to achieving your goals. In those moments, it can seem like things will never change and that you will always be stuck in the same place. Yet these difficult times are also opportunities for professional growth and personal development. 

Struggling in romantic relationships can be a stressful and difficult experience, particularly when those struggles impact our personal and professional lives. Whether it's with partners, family members, friends, or colleagues, navigating relationship challenges often requires a great deal of emotional labor and self-reflection.

At the same time, dealing with relationship problems is often an important part of our personal growth and development. When we struggle to communicate effectively or struggle to understand and respect the needs of others, it forces us to expand our perspective and learn new skills. This struggle can lead to healthier interactions with others, improving the quality of not only our romantic relationships but also our professional relationships as well.

We all face doubt at some point in our lives. Whether it's doubting our abilities, our choices, or even ourselves, doubt can be a very powerful force. And when we're already struggling with confidence, doubt can be even more damaging. The key is to remember that confidence isn't about never having doubts. It's about how we handle those doubts when they come up. When we face our doubts head-on and refuse to let them keep us from moving forward, that's when we really start to build confidence. 

We all have our own unique Identity and we struggle every day to be ourselves. It is a continuous Journey to find out who we are and to be comfortable in our own skin. We go through life trying to fit in and be like everyone else, when all we really need to do is be ourselves. Be you and live your life the way you want to live it. Don't let anyone else control your happiness, only you have the power to do that. The struggle to be yourself is a hard one, but it's worth it in the end because you get to live your life exactly the way you want to. So don't give up on yourself, keep fighting the good fight and eventually you'll find your way.
