Why is it so important for an entrepreneur to stay fluid and nimble? How should we be gearing up for a market correction? On this episode, we talk to Jessie about his lessons on entrepreneurship.

Entrepreneurship is a game of constantly learning, and not being too proud to do so. Ultimately, the ones that keep learning are the ones that keep growing. A lot of us often give up on things before we’ve really put in the work, but you can’t start something else if you aren’t kicking ass at what you’re already doing. Remember in the case of market corrections, there are many opportunities for people who position themselves correctly, so anticipate, embrace and get ready to grow from that change. Jessie is a powerful example of how you can find ways to win during tough times.
