On Today’s episode we’re chatting all about shiny object syndrome. You might be wondering, what the heck is that? Shiny object syndrome is when someone is distracted by something new and exciting, often at the expense of what they're currently doing. In business, this can manifest as chasing the latest industry strategy, tactic, or advice. This can be a common pitfall for entrepreneurs like ourselves, especially for those that are super creative. For us this looks like new business ideas, new ways to market our brand, a new website or branding and the list goes on and on.
Gabby and Kari are diving into how this affects them and how they combat it within their businesses. Another real and honest conversation about entrepreneurship and all the things that come with it. So let’s dive into how we manage this and make sure we don’t get sucked into it all.
