“Entrepreneurship is such a wonderful way to live life. And yes, I often think that it is much easier to have a corporate job because you can hide behind other people, every hour doesn’t count in the same way as it does when being an entrepreneur. But when you learn to say no and yes to the right things, when you make mistakes and you don’t beat yourself up too much, you just do it again and you have some tenacity—it is a wonderful way to live. And it allows you to be your most flexible when things change.” Meet Lynne Scullard, also known as Scully. If you think that sounds like some badass pirate boss lady, you are right. Scully is a Global Experience leader for Unsettled and also has two companies of her own. Scully Scooters has so far brought almost 2000 previously unemployed South African youth into jobs or their own business-on-a-bike, but the company was actually launched in a moment of crisis. Are you feeling a bit stuck and in need of motivation? This episode is for you! Scully has some great advice on how to gain clarity on what you want to create, and how to deal with the three major dragons that stop you from turning your dreams into reality. Other topics: running a business with zero employees, making travel a priority, and how to know whether to persist or walk away when things are not working.
