SUMMARY:Start Designing Freedom From Day One
DESCRIPTION:Stop building first and hoping for freedom later. Taylor Norhawitz shows how to design your business around your life from day one. Most entrepreneurs build first and hope freedom shows up somewhere down the road. But working around the clock isn’t growth. It’s a trap. And no amount of hustle\, funnels\, or social media can save a business built on the wrong foundation. In this session\, Taylor Norhawitz will show you how to flip the entrepreneurial order and design your business around your life\, not the other way around. You’ll walk away with a fresh framework for building freedom into your business from day one. About the Speaker Taylor has spent two decades educating and building businesses across startups and enterprise organizations. After launching and scaling multiple companies\, she created The Founder Life to help founders design businesses that support the lives they actually want to live. \nSource and tickets: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/start-designing-freedom-from-day-one-tickets-2002344103114
