SHOW NOTES
KEY IDEAS:
Our guest today was thrust into the world of agribusiness in a situation that she would have never chosen. However 16 years after this happened she finds herself running a successful feed and seed business, feeling innovative as an entrepreneur and realizes that although she never realized it, she had entrepreneurial tendencies even as a child.
Sandy Hansen-Wolff is the owner of AgVenture Feed & Seed. She found herself with this business at the age of 30 after her husband passed away. Sandy did not know a lot about the business when this happened and found herself with the responsibility for making it solvent before selling it could even be considered. However the sale never came as she discovered that running this business was rewarding and fulfilling.
Today, Sandy has the business and she is a sought after speaker, coach and entrepreneur. She gets to spread her message of entrepreneurship all over the country and has a very inspirational story to tell. We were lucky enough to have her tell her story on this episode.
ADVICE FROM SANDY:
MENTORS: Sandy says "go get some mentors" and start learning from other people who have been where you want to go.
LOVE: Love of your passion is not enough. Working in your business is fun for every entrepreneur. You need to learn to love working on your business, such as doing the book work, budgets, etc.
NEGOTIATE: Do not be afraid to negotiate well and get the price that your products or services are worth.
BEST BUSINESS ADVICE SANDY HAS EVER RECEIVED:
LISTEN: Listen to others. Do not just dismiss someone as a critic because they are saying something critical about your business. Maybe they know something and you should make a change.
PERSONAL HABIT:
FITNESS: Sandy wasn't always fit, but she is now. She exercises, watches what she eats and meditates (kind of) every day. She knows that if she does not feel good physically and feel good about herself, she will not be able to lead, innovate and inspire.
