In 20s started a real business. It’s who I am. It’s not just starting businesses - you’re a self-starter. That embodies how I think of it 00:41:15 Beth Solomon: Started out doing side hustles. Started by selling pagers to pilots. Then started selling into the c-suite. Consulting. B2B services, turned more full time. Building sales teams. 00:42:18 Alison Cardy: I think you should take a look at this. 00:42:58 Beth Solomon: virtual staffing business - executive assistants. background is engineering. an old business coach called him about an inventor who ended a ceo.

That led me to ask, “what’s next.” It took years. The excitement filled my heart. I couldn’t wait to get back to the course that was being taught by a coach 00:52:18 Pramod Raheja: Red carpet was being laid out slowly over a few years.... 00:52:53 Alison Cardy: What I didn't realize was how much staying in that comfort zone was keeping me unfulfilled. 00:52:57 Alison Cardy: I wasn't feeling that joy. 00:53:17 Beth Solomon: what i didn’t realize and i’m still uncovering is how much staying in that comfort zone was keeping me unfulfilled.
