I’ve had the surprise of my life discovering that her niche actually really does exist. I assure you guys that you’d be amazed by the discovery as you listen through today’s episode as well.   Now, our guest was in on an exciting discovery as well by the success of something that she just started doing and just seeing if it would work. She’s been astounded with the amount of success she’s had and so quickly. However, having that success so quickly, while it’s a feat for most entrepreneurs, it can also be a source of stress. Our guest is used to just doing thing on her own so she struggles with things from how to build a team, to scaling her business, finding the right person for the job, and the list goes on. We’re going to narrow it down for her into actionable bits and pieces for an effective execution all the while ensuring that she stays at the top of it all, and at the same time, focused on what she does best.   About Carolyn Carpenter Carolyn J Carpenter is the host and cofounder of Hollywood Gatekeepers, an online system to educate and create quality readers for Hollywood.

Carolyn’s Top 5 StrengthsFinder Themes:   Strategic Achiever Maximizer Ideation Futuristic     Key Takeaways Having people that both lift me and rein me in, that’s really important. There are skills that we do and that we excel at but what we excel at, skillswise, isn’t necessarily what drives our energy. When you have something that you love and then you make a business out  of it, sometimes that can destroy the love part. Your education, skills, and life experiences are never, ever wasted. The question is how can you use that to move forward? Time-Stamped Show Highlights [01:03] An impressive intro for an even more impressive person.
