95: How I Became an Entrepreneur

The Cosmic Business Podcast - A podcast by Paula Crossfield - Mondays

If you are curious about MY story of coming into entrepreneurship, you will love hearing today’s episode about my business background. Many people have fascinating stories about how they became entrepreneurs, but most of us don’t consciously choose this way of being in the world.  Entrepreneurship is often a by-product of our creativity, ingenuity, and desire for freedom.
