Your first big deal is rarely smooth — it's chaotic, nerve-wracking, and full of surprises. 🌪️ But those beginnings are what shape us as entrepreneurs.

On this episode of the 🎙️ Diehard Entrepreneur Stories Podcast, Ron Angel and I open up about the raw, real stories of our first experiences as entrepreneurs.

We dive into the chaos of those early entrepreneurial moments where everything seems to go wrong. Imagine facing setbacks, second-guessing yourself at every turn, and yet somehow finding the resilience to keep pushing forward. Ron shares his story of flipping his first property in North Carolina, battling unreliable contractors 🛑👷 and rising costs 💸📉 that almost derailed the entire project.

What does it really take to overcome those early challenges—the self-doubt, the failures, and those moments where you question if it’s even worth it? 🤔 Together, we explore how these struggles can become stepping stones, 🎯 how each failure offers valuable lessons, and how persistence leads to growth.

💬 Reflecting on the chaos of your first big venture, how did those setbacks shape the success you achieved?

I’m on a MISSION to help entrepreneurs create IMPACT.
