A Holistic Approach to Business. Finance and Marketing Insights with Carlyn Bushman
August 31, 2023
Many entrepreneurs get lost in “focusing on a holistic approach to their business” because they think it means wearing ALL the hats. Although entrepreneurship is about wearing many hats, especially in the beginning, the goal must be to delegate as soon as the business grows and financials allow it. So, what does adopting a holistic approach mean? It means keeping an eye on four key areas: financials, technology, marketing, and management.
In this episode, I’m joined by Carlyn Bushman, Expert Strategist and Entrepreneur, Educator, Founder of the Carlyn Bushman Consulting, and Co-Host of Start-Ups In Stilettos Podcast. Carlyn is a lifelong learner, owner of vast experience in tech, marketing, management, and business financials, and passionate about helping women launch and grow product and service-based businesses. She is also a mom, wife, former corporate executive, and small business owner.
Throughout our conversation, you’ll hear Carlyn’s thoughts on the importance of authenticity in entrepreneurship, keeping ourselves updated, and having an eternal student mindset as business owners.
