Key Takeaways:

• Entrepreneurship is similar to the sports world in that you need to stay on top of your game, and as with a team sport, you learn to work with all types of clients when you own a business.
• As an athlete or a business professional, you must decide that you “will” do something. Don’t give up.
• Coaching is valuable for athletes and business owners alike. Trust a qualified coach to show you what you may need to see in your business.

Quotes:

“A coach brings the light to your life, right? Seeing where the hidden parts are or things you can't see for yourself.” - Fabienne Raphael

“You show up to practice even when it hurts, and continue because you know it's part of the journey. Entrepreneurship is the same thing. When the vision is clear in your mind, you won't always mind doing what you don't necessarily like to do, but it will move the needle closer to getting you to the goal.” - Fabienne Raphael
