Manage episode 365593488 series 3438434
On "Inside-Out Career Design" this week, hosts Nicola Vetter & Peter Axtell speak with Samantha Pilling
Do you have the spirit to be an entrepreneur? That's the first question because entrepreneurship is not for everyone. In our conversation, we dive into Samantha’s world, who is a marketer focusing only on Facebook Ads. Coming from a family of entrepreneurs, she knows the ups and downs of the entrepreneurial life. It's not easy but very rewarding if you have a thick skin, tenacity, and the willingness to learn. Samantha describes losing all her clients during the pandemic and then coming back stronger than ever. This is a story of courage, passion, skill, and resilience.
In our conversation, we talk about…
- how one of her entrepreneurial efforts nearly burned her out,
- how her business evaporated during the pandemic and what she did to bounce back,
- what it takes to be an entrepreneur,
- the ups and downs and mostly the joy and satisfaction of being your own boss,
- why lifelong learning is essential to being a successful entrepreneur,
- why having a loving supportive family helped her pivot and keep going.
