No business owner has ever made it to the top without having to overcome hurdles along the way. That’s a lesson that Jennifer and Brian know all too well after having faced their own hardships before starting their own legal services firm. In today’s podcast, we’re covering the ideas that many people harbor in their minds that keep them from taking the next step in their career. Brian and Jennifer break down the various motivators in our lives, and how a simple shift in mindset could change millions of lives.
Today’s a unique podcast because we have two special guests, the founders of Leafy Legal Services and hosts of The Leafy Podcast, Jennifer Gligoric and Brian Price. This duo has dedicated their careers for the last 20 years to helping business owners, including real estate investors. Their latest endeavor was built with a passion for protecting those business owners and their assets from the cutthroat industries that they operate in.
Between Jennifer and Brian, we’ve got a lot to discuss, and there are many pearls of wisdom to take from each of them. Their goal is to inspire people who want to start a business to start now and for those who’ve done it and are struggling to use these trials to their advantage. Some of the highlights you won’t want to miss include:
- A poverty mindset vs. an opportunity mindset.
- Internal vs. External motivation and confidence.
- Staying positive, even through tragedy.
- Separating yourself from your business using an LLC.
- The best lawsuit is one that never happened.
- If you have something to give to the world, do it now.
“True confidence is actually an internal thing. You shouldn't really need anybody else’s approval...That’s very fleeting. Until you have your own internal confidence, you’re never going to be truly grateful...no matter how much you accumulate.”
—Brian Price
“Your biggest mistakes are sometimes your biggest launchpads.”
—Jennifer Gligoric
