“just keep going”

When we interviewed all of these amazing entrepreneurs for the Barefoot in Business program, we asked them to sum up what it’s like to run a business in one word. The most popular answer was “rollercoaster” and we couldn’t agree more.

Like everyone we interviewed, we wouldn’t change it for the world, however entrepreneurship is tough and it can be hard to keep going through all the “loop the loops.” One thing that we’ve found helps us through the tough times is a good podcast. As master multi-taskers here at Barefoot HQ, they’re an ideal source of inspiration and motivation so here are a few of our favourites featuring some of the most inspiring business leaders on the planet. Enjoy!
