Short excerpt from a Lori Harder discussion advising founders to stay focused and service-oriented: avoid distraction by social media or external glamour, prioritize profitability and meaningful impact, and serve the community to enable sustainable growth.
With building a company. Having horse blinders on is so important. You can scroll through stories and Instagram and listen to podcasts all day, and you can either let it bring you down what you don't have, or you can choose to let it inspire you. But also, the grass is not always greener. And I know that's so cheesy to say, but building to be profitable, building to make a difference in people's lives and sticking to that and not letting all of the glitz and glamour and the speaking on stages not let that get the best of you. Be of service to people in the community. And the money and the growth that will come.
