The UpFlip Podcast

15-04-2024 • 30 mins

Terry Rice worked at some incredible companies, including Facebook and Adobe but the burnout he experienced was ruining his life. Leaving his job, bad habits, and unhealthy lifestyle behind, he started his own business to create a life he could enjoy with his family.

In today's interview Terry shares his winning mindset that helped to catapult him out of his 9 to 5 and into entrepreneurship. The winning habits that have helped him stay focused and the steps you can take to do the same.

Key Takeaways:

  1. Establishing boundaries can help reduce or eliminate burnout. That includes a corporate job and your own business. You have more of a defense against it as an entrepreneur because you don’t have to do more to be more.
  2. Figure out what problem you want to solve before you think about what product you can create. If you aren’t solving a problem, you will not succeed.
  3. People give you opportunities when they feel connected to you.
  4. Always stay curious to stay relevant in business. Don’t get complacent but strive to improve a little each day.
