EP30: Top 10 Lessons From an Award-Winning Agency Founder & CEO

Épisode 31

mercredi 29 mai 2024 • Durée 11:10

Access special perks on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=108229517

Stephanie Melodia founded Bloom, an award-winning marketing consultancy, in London of 2017.

Last summer, she announced the closure of her successful business, and - in this episode - she recounts what happened, and reflects on what went right, and what went wrong.

(After all, Strategy & Tragedy is about sharing *both* the highs and lows of business, the reality behind closed doors, the ugly truth behind the glossy veneer, and - most crucially - the lessons learnt from the experience. None of this is to put anyone off entrepreneurship, instead it's about empowering early-stage entrepreneurs to go in with eyes & ears wide open, learning from other people's mistakes who are a few steps ahead of you. Tune into Episode ZERO to hear more!)

What you'll learn in this solo episode:

🥀 What led Steph to ultimately close the Bloom chapter🥀 Top 10 business lessons - 5 things that worked + 5 things that didn’t 🥀 Being "allergic" to stagnation, the concept of control, and importance of progress🥀 The importance of carrying out a “pre-mortem” exercise on your own business. 🥀 Embracing a portfolio career post-Bloom

I'd LOVE to know, what resonated most with you here? Join the conversation:
