Episode 123. Finding Your Wise Tribe: The Power of Peer Support in Entrepreneurship

Let’s face it.

Running your own business can be exciting, challenging, empowering - and lonely.

And if you’ve been in practice for a while, you know what I mean when I say that friends and family – if they aren’t entrepreneurs themselves – may have trouble understanding what it’s like to stand in your shoes.

And yet, you need people around you who DO get it. You need your own wise tribe who, like you, are on their own journey of success, who get the ups and downs that a life of entrepreneurship inevitably requires.

You need your own wise tribe.

You need the company of entrepreneurial peers who will challenge you when you get in your own way, support you when the doubts kick in, and celebrate like crazy when you get a win.

So let’s explore that.

This week on the podcast, we’re talking about the power of community, and its impact on your mental health, creativity and your overall business success.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

1. Why talking with your family and friends about your business isn’t enough.
2. The harder way that some relationships may change as your business grows (and you do too.)
3. Tips for how to find and cultivate your own wise tribe of healthy, success-oriented peers who can walk beside you along the way.

And more.

Because I don’t know where I’d be if I hadn’t made it a point to surround myself with success-oriented people over the years. And if you’re serious about building the business you dream of, you need those  kind of people around you too.

Give it a listen.

P.S. If you’d like to just see what it’s even like to be in the same room with business owners like you - who get you in a completely different way -  I’ve got a workshop coming up in December that you might want to know about. You’ll hear a little about that in the podcast too. Think about it! :)

SAVE THE DATE…

Ever wished you had a place where you could speak freely about what it’s like to run your own practice? Where you could get feedback about strategy or clarity on your most important goals?

What if there was a way you could talk through big ideas out loud with other practice owners who get you like no one else?

Consider joining us for OnPurpose 2025, the annual deep-dive strategic planning workshop I host each year in December.

This year’s workshop will be on Friday, December 6, from 1-5 eastern, and it’s online so you can join us from anywhere.

You don’t have to commit now. You can’t! It's not open yet! 😉 But if you want to be notified when I open the doors for registration in November -  so you have a choice - you should at least get your name on the waiting list, don’t you think? :)

Click here to do that, and I’ll make sure you get the news when it comes.
