  • Summary

  • Let's be honest: building a company from nothing is freaking hard. It has been for me. I grew my company Accelity from 0 to 7 figures with no partners and no funding. I'm also a startup mentor, a speaker, and a dedicated mother of three. Welcome to The Art of Entrepreneurship podcast—I’m your host, Jackie Hermes. Listen in as I share all the mistakes I’ve made and, more importantly, what I’ve learned from them, with no fluff, and no rose-colored glasses. The Art of Entrepreneurship is a show where we cut through the BS and dig into what it actually takes to start and grow a business. I’ll be giving unfiltered advice 1 episode per week, up to 20 minute per episode. I want you to walk away from this podcast with the mindset and tools you need to be successful. This podcast is for entrepreneurs, side hustlers, and busy professionals with a short attention span (like me)—you’ll get quick-hitting, actionable information in every single episode. If you give me your time, I promise it won't be wasted. Now let's get to work!

    This episode of The Art of Entrepreneurship is for anyone who finds it challenging to show up for themselves and others each day. If you’re feeling depleted or unmotivated, you’re not alone.

    While it may seem straightforward, being present can look different from one day to the next. We discuss the nuances of sitting in that grit and allowing ourselves the grace to overcome obstacles.

    Make sure you tune in for an honest discussion about the “fake it till you make it” mindset and how it can sometimes help us navigate mental, physical, and emotional hurdles.
