In this episode, taken from a Facebook live in his Facebook group, The Better Business Network, Sean talks about the concept of the ‘Entrepreneurial Ladder'. This is a model used to explain why people can often end up with a business by accident rather than design, and also helps to explain the risks and rewards at each level of the ladder, from being a ‘student' with little risk and little reward, up to the top level of ‘entrepreneur' with significant levels of risk and reward, The difference between those who succeed and those who struggle is partly based on their willingness to progress up the ladder, so listen to Sean explain the model in detail, and work out where you are on the ladder now and where you would like to be in the future.
