#101 - How to Overcome the Emotional Challenges of Being an Entrepreneur w/ Andrew McIntosh

Author: Justin Green, CFP® September 13, 2023 Duration: 50:16

In this episode, I sit down with Andrew McIntosh, the founder of the 1st Gen Entrepreneur community.

He's on a mission to help as many first gen entrepreneurs as he can, by helping them get over the "entrepreneurial" hump, as he likes to call it and enjoys the freedoms that business ownership has to offer.

Some of the topics included:

  • Starting and selling an IT business

  • Building a personal brand on LinkedIn

  • Mistakes to avoid as an entrepreneur

  • The emotional challenge of being the 1st entrepreneur in your family

And much more!
