NO More Excuses, Wake Up! Entrepreneurship Made Simple: You Don’t Need a Million—Just a Moment

Episode Summary:
In this episode of No More Excuses. Wake Up!  You don’t need a million dollars, a fancy degree, or a “perfect plan” to start your business—you just need to start. In this episode, I’m sharing what it really takes to become an entrepreneur today, drawing from my own experience building JOY (Just Our Youth), A Second Touch, and my real estate career, plus real-life stories of founders who started small and scaled big.

You’ll hear powerful success stories—from Sarah Blakely launching Spanx with $5,000 while selling fax machines, to Brian Scudamore turning one truck into 1-800-GOT-JUNK?, to Christina Stembel transforming her flower hobby into a $30 million company.

We’ll cover the five traits all successful entrepreneurs share (hint: none of them require money), the surprising truth about startup funding, why side hustles are leading the way, and the first simple steps you can take right now to get your business moving.

If you’ve been waiting for the “right time,” this episode will show you why now is the time—and why your biggest regret might be not starting sooner.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • The five key traits of successful entrepreneurs (and why money isn’t one of them)
  • Real-life startup stories that prove you can start small and still go big
  • The truth about where 82% of startup funding really comes from
