Good Money with Derrick Kinney

One of the biggest challenges business owners face is the fear of stepping into the unknown. It's that scary question: "What if I take this risk and it doesn't pay off?"

My guest today, Rich Redmond, knows that fear all too well. But he’s also figured out how to fight it.

Rich is the drummer for country music star Jason Aldean and a seasoned pro in the music industry. Rich knows all about taking risks and making them work. Today, he reveals that to really win in business (and life), you have to believe in yourself and keep getting better at what you do.

Rich also shares the importance of making friends and building strong relationships. Because knowing the right people can really open doors for you. He's also big on sharing your wins—so don't be shy to say what you're good at!

Plus, Rich has some great advice on setting goals that you can actually reach. And making sure you do something every day to get closer to them.

So, if you're ready to kick fear to the curb and make some moves towards your goals this year, this episode is your front-row ticket. (See what I did there?)
