The Youngprenuers Society Podcast

If you're a young entrepreneur building your brand, you've probably noticed that getting your first 100 followers feels way harder than getting to the 1,000 mark. You aren't crazy, it is harder.  When you're starting from zero, no one knows you, no one trusts you yet, and it feels like you're posting into a total void. But here's the good news: your first 100 followers aren't about luck. They're a...

In this episode, I'm joined by Tam Relia , founder of Cents & Solutions . Tam is a former accountant of...

In this episode, I'm breaking down how to get more don...

In this episode, we're diving into how to test your ideas before yo...

We talk about productivity all the time, especially as young entrepreneurs. Be more organised. Wake up earlier. Do more. Stay consistent.

So in this episode, I wanted to share what productivity actually looks like for me while balancing business, online sch...

Imagine this: you've just launched your dream business. Your website is live, your socials are looking sharp, and your product is ready to roll.
