Erika Glenn: 我从医疗保健领域的企业高管转型为企业家，这其中需要克服从稳定薪水到不确定收入的恐惧。提前储蓄和规划自身优势以及市场策略至关重要。即使在为他人工作时，也要投资于个人品牌建设，这能为职业转型提供竞争优势和安全网。职业规划应注重风险承担和灵活适应，而非墨守成规地循序渐进。从过去的经验中学习并适应变化，勇于承担风险。企业扩张的误区在于只关注销售而忽视可持续的流程和系统建设，以及对销售团队的有效培训。领导力发展需要从强势的“命令式”领导转变为更注重团队合作和个人优势的领导风格。寻找导师或教练需要找到与自身目标和领导风格相符的人，并积极主动地寻求指导和反馈。个人品牌建设的核心在于真实和真诚，避免模仿和虚假内容。克服在公众面前展现自我的恐惧需要循序渐进，从小事做起，逐步提升自信。成功的产品或服务上市策略需要深入市场调研，完善产品，并制定有效的销售策略和团队培训计划。招聘优秀的销售主管或经理需要关注其情商、团队合作能力以及实际销售业绩，而非仅仅关注其人脉资源。在面对全新且不确定的项目时，保持团队士气和目标一致性需要通过清晰的沟通、共同庆祝成功以及确保团队成员的参与感来实现。企业危机处理需要优先关注财务状况、销售漏斗和运营效率，并建立有效的流程和系统来提升效率。商业教练的服务应根据客户的具体需求进行定制，并提供可衡量的成果和交付物。
