Key Points
- The journey of starting and running a business should be enjoyable, not just the end goal of selling the company or achieving financial success.
- Diversifying your business across different markets and platforms, such as bars, online sales, and exports, can help mitigate risks and lead to a stronger position post-challenges like a pandemic.
- Being kind to yourself and creating a sustainable work-life balance is crucial for long-term success and personal well-being as an entrepreneur.
