In this episode of the Why Not Today? podcast, Leslie Kane welcomes back executive and leadership coach Freddi Donner for a deep and honest conversation about entrepreneurship, courage, and the power of surrounding yourself with others on a similar journey.
Freddi opens up about the real experiences of owning a business, including the challenges of failure, the need for focus, and the importance of staying connected with others who understand the ups and downs of entrepreneurship. Whether you’re just starting or feeling stuck, this episode will remind you that you’re not meant to do business alone.
Leslie and Freddi talk about how building a trusted circle of peers can bring energy, perspective, and clarity, especially when you’re facing decision fatigue or self doubt. Working with others in community provides accountability, inspiration, and the space to test ideas before going all in. Because the truth is, owning your own business can be lonely but it doesn’t have to be.
Highlights from this episode:
– How narrowing your offerings creates focus and ease
– Why testing ideas before jumping in can prevent overwhelm and burnout
– The value of surrounding yourself with business owners who bring fresh ideas and shared experiences
– How community creates energy, momentum, and the confidence to keep going when motivation dips
This conversation is a powerful reminder that the most successful business owners don’t go it alone. They grow through connection.
You don’t have to have all the answers you just need to take one brave step. Why not today?
