In part seven of this continuing video series, Rachel and Shane Krider continue to discuss ways to become a successful entrepreneur, and highlight a few case studies in which they or their colleagues have found success. As a husband and wife-duo who are entrepreneurs themselves, they both believe that the key to being a prosperous entrepreneur is sticking with your gut and sorting your own counsel. See below for details of this verbal exchange between Rachel and Shane.

RACHEL KRIDER

I’m sure there are people who might be considering getting started or not getting started in a home-based business. Because I was in your shoes at one point, my advice is to seek your own counsel. Listen to your gut and if it feels right, then go for it and then put the blinders on. I had a family member warning me to not move forward with my business. They wondered how I would pay my bills…

SHANE KRIDER

..are they going to pay for your vacation that you didn’t get to go on?

RACHEL KRIDER

Totally yeah. You’re going to have some well-meaning people giving you advice. But at the end of the day, you have to make the decision. I think that’s they key to any successful entrepreneur — they sort their own counsel.

SHANE KRIDER

That’s another common denominator. They look deep inside and either there’s a thumbs up or a thumbs down and they listen to that.

RACHEL KRIDER

Yeah, totally. This business is not for everyone. I get that and that’s totally cool — go out and create success somewhere else. I think a lot of people could move forward in something, whether it be this or something else, but they don’t because of “well-meaning” friends or family members. They’re worried about what people are thinking as opposed to just getting over themselves and following their gut. I think a lot of people could go on to create a lot more success than they’re giving themselves permission to. That would be my advice.

SHANE KRIDER

Yep, I absolutely agree. If you want to us to be doing a case study on your success, follow your gut, listen to your intuition, back yourself up in every way you possibly can, and know your own heart. If this is your path, welcome to the team. If it’s not, go out and find your passion. We believe all things are possible.
