Welcome to the Evolvepreneur (After Hours) Show
I am your Special Host Mechelle McDonald
Join me today where we dig deep with our guests and get you the best concepts and strategies to fast-track your business.
My very special guest today is Denise O’Donnell ...
Denise is a CFO involved in building a new art school in Kentucky. She tackles commercial and financial challenges, understands higher education innovation, and embraces digital solutions. Denise also oversees Human Capital Management, prioritizing a healthy workplace culture that promotes inclusion. She emphasizes trust-building through authentic client conversations, advises entrepreneurs to differentiate dreams from pipe dreams, and advocates for purpose and contentment over constant happiness. Denise recommends hiring a team for mundane tasks while focusing on visionary entrepreneurship.
Key Moments:
- Having open, authentic conversations is important. It allows you to understand each other better and move past misunderstandings.
- As an entrepreneur, you have to learn to deal with rejection and see it as an opportunity for growth, not a reflection of your self-worth.
- It's important to separate your business success from your self-worth. Your net worth does not define your self-worth.
- Entrepreneurs have to strike a balance between dreaming, doing, and driving their business. They need to separate dreams from realistic goals.
- Entrepreneurs need to build a team that can handle mundane tasks so they can focus on the strategic and creative work.
- Entrepreneurs struggle to talk about money even though making money is often the goal of their business. They need to overcome this.
- Entrepreneurs need to have honest conversations with themselves about what they really want from their business and life. This provides clarity and focus.
- Letting go and trusting a team is difficult for some entrepreneurs but necessary to scale the business.
- Living a life of purpose, separate from work, helps provide balance and contentment.
- Learning to say "no" and frame it positively can help entrepreneurs maintain balance and avoid burnout.
