Episode Synopsis
Send us a textThis is Part 2 of my entrepreneurship story - the raw, unfiltered truth about the 7 years that led to my Zone of Genius breakthrough. From taking a pregnancy test 10 minutes before teaching a course that only 3 people bought, to realizing I was missing my son's precious moments while chasing a business that wasn't working…I'm sharing the struggles most entrepreneurs hide: the 42 cents an hour seasons, the moment I almost quit, and the $25,000 investment that either saved or broke my business. Most importantly, I'm revealing how I finally discovered that my true genius wasn't teaching cello - it was empowering entrepreneurs.Key Topics Covered:The neuroscience behind why I kept going despite 7 years of struggleHow becoming a mother forced me to examine my business prioritiesThe difference between working IN your zone of genius vs. working AROUND itWhy "winners never quit and quitters never win" became my survival mantraThe 3 non-negotiable conditions I set for my $25,000 business investmentHow I finally stopped teaching what I thought people wanted and started serving what they actually neededThe role of music and emotion in business transformationBuilding a sustainable business that doesn't require sacrificing family timeMemorable Moments:Taking a pregnancy test 10 minutes before a live course with only 3 studentsThe moment my toddler said "Mommy, look at me" and I realized I was missing everythingInvesting $25,000 while averaging 42 cents an hour, the conditions that made it work and actually helped me rise to a new levelThe conversation that led me to completely pivot from music education to business coachingHow I went from dreading work to feeling energized by my businessResources Mentioned:Tony Robbins and the education industry statistics"10X is Easier than 2X" by Dan Sullivan (The 5 Freedoms)Innovation Incubator (my signature business coaching program)Private podcast for entrepreneurs with ADHDFree Zone of Genius Strategy Calls (limited to 20 per month)Connect with Ine:Free Strategy Call: https://www.innervoiceinstituteofmusic.com/discoverycallInstagram: @ine.wilme Download the new free guide: The #1 Mistake Entrepreneurs Make When They Launch New OffersGet access to the Flow State ForPodcast intro music: J.S.
