This episode if full of inspiration as I talk with Melanie Griffin, Founder of Spread Your Sunshine. From inspirational products to resources, Spread Your Sunshine is here to brighten the world. As an attorney and entrepreneur, Melanie and I converse about many topics including:

Gratitude
Authenticity
With only 24 hours in a day, what is an entrepreneur to do
Goal setting and accountability partners
Mentorship
It is OK to stay in your 9 - 5 and have a side hustle
Recovering from perfectionism
Failure is going to happen, embrace it

Snippets of advice like:

Do one thing, do it well, finish it, and then move on to the next project. A more difficult concept for serial multitaskers and entrepreneurs with "racing minds."
Failure and success are muscles, how have you flexed yours?
Looking to start a business? Many of us get stuck on what is that business. Think about what you love to do or are passionate about, and then try to monetize. By looking through a different lens, clarity can be found.

"Spread Your Sunshine builds confidence through inspirational keynote speaking, small business consulting, celebratory products, and a soon-to-be-launched podcast and social media show. All of their products and services mentor and cheer the community on in abandoning perfection and the fear of “failure” to tackle big challenges and create the change we wish to see in the world."
