Why Not Today? Podcast - Season 4, Episode 40: The Truth About Starting a Business with Jim Beach

Leslie sits down with entrepreneur, author, and radio host Jim Beach for an honest conversation about the real journey of building a business. Jim shares how early rejection led him toward entrepreneurship, the highs and lows he faced, and the lessons that shaped his career.

Highlights:

• Why entrepreneurship is a roller coaster

• What most people misunderstand about passion

• Why starting with a proven model works
