First Time Founder S3EP3:Jack Allman: Meet The Company Disrupting How You Pay For Car Servicing

Hi Everyone??!

We are back once again for episode three of the Gigged x First Time Founder podcast!?

As a founder, having a growth mindset is key. It's this mindset that helps you to see the obstacles in front of you, and figure out how to overcome them to drive your business forward. A great explanation of this found here in Forbes:

“A growth mindset encourages you to overcome obstacles and view setbacks as opportunities”?

It’s the growth mindset that keeps you moving forward through the tough times, turning the failures and setbacks into opportunities and development. That being said, it can feel lonely being a founder, especially in our digital world where everyone shares their success; if you are going through a tough time it can lead to doubting yourself. It's easy to fall into the habit of only openly discussing the flashy, exciting and successful sides of your business. A great article written in Sifted alludes to this succinctly. Have a read of it here.?
