No Goals & No Action - Hot Seat w/ David Shands

Entrepreneurship is often romanticized as a journey filled with excitement and innovation, yet the reality is that it demands a significant amount of persistence and adaptability. The story of Marissa, an entrepreneur featured in a recent podcast, serves as a compelling case study in understanding these two essential traits. Marissa's journey illustrates how persistence in the face of challenges and the ability to adapt to changing circumstances can lead to success in the business world.

Marissa's entrepreneurial path began during a challenging time in her life—her pregnancy. Initially feeling embarrassed about her situation, she found herself in a state of depression. However, rather than allowing these feelings to hinder her progress, she channeled her emotions into creating her embroidery business, Stitch With Love. This decision exemplifies the importance of persistence. Instead of succumbing to her circumstances, Marissa chose to push through her struggles and take action, demonstrating that resilience is crucial for any entrepreneur.

I know Dave is a good dad because he has the patience of a saint

[ORANGELILYU]

Fired for "shop talk, " isn't supposed to happen, but happens everyday. Getting guidance from David will strengthen her entrepreneurial endeavors. Very talented.☀️

[GodlywoodGirl]

I loved the breakdown of the sales goal. I've gotten rid of so many useless tasks that I used to do just by matching my actions to my sales goals. GREAT advice!

[PiratesEcu]

At 5:58 she said she went outside to deliver an order. I think she was referring to an embroidery order and she said that’s where most people came to pick up and drop off. Did anyone else hear it that way? That’s probably why she got fired…in and out of the restaurant for personal business.

[Tbonez.]

Naw😂😂😂this episode is a pure comedy show...couldn't take it seriously 😅

[tailoredbydom]

I’m not gonna lie, this episode took me a while to get through 😅I had to come back like three times. Shout out to Dave, he’s more patient than me lol

[luxurytaxprep]

Wow. Go Dave, for offering to follow up with the young lady! I hope that opportunity urges her to take some action.

[TTSs]

Lighting looks great in the studio Dave!

[detoxsoberlounge]

I like her!! She has an amazing personality!! I believe she’s gonna do great! Good luck!!

[ChareseLJosie-rnph]

Dave - I thought we collectively agreed to episodes dropping on Sundays 👀😂😁

[PowerMagStories]

omg my brain is fried and my anxiety is on 1000 like i was the one coaching her lol

[hiimelledove]

if she can stay organized she can develop her personal brand with its mission to rebrand love. throwing it out there because she seems so passionate about it

[laj]

Time block. She absolutely does need this implemented.

[blaqphonix]

She is all over the place. Once she gets that focus tho…🏃🏽‍♀️💨🏃🏽‍♀️💨🏃🏽‍♀️💨🏃🏽‍♀️💨 she gone

[tailoredbydom]

If she focuses on manufacturing she can make a lot of money, she just needs to target entrepreneurs that need pieces made. Bulk orders need to be her bread and butter

[tamramariejohnson]

She gives me the lady on love x hip hop! "Moniece" energy

[hiimelledove]

She can set a minimum or charge higher for one offs like most manufacturers

[jazzylamel]

I think she's confused about this whole business plan- she needs to work on herself first

[briawilliams]

I feel like this hot seat is not too hot enough lol she’s too comfortable. When they are in the studio face to face the pressure is there i just feel shes everywhere. 27:29
