Show Notes
Intro
I’m Bhavna Rishi, founder of BuildTheDreamBrand, and for over 20 years I’ve been helping founders, artists and fashion startups design, launch and scale brands – from museums like the V&A, Chatsworth House and the British Museum, to first-time founders who started with nothing but an idea and a sketch.
And in this episode of The Good, The Bad & The Ugly of Building the Brand, I want to talk about the three things that changed everything for me as an entrepreneur: clarity, courage, and conscious entrepreneurship.
Episode Summary
The biggest obstacle in entrepreneurship is not funding, not finding a manufacturer, not even getting your first sale. It is you. Your indecision, your self-doubt, your inability to trust your own gut. In this episode, Bhavna shares the three foundations every entrepreneur needs — clarity to know what to build, courage to act despite the fear, and consciousness to make sure you do not destroy yourself in the process. She also addresses the three missing boundaries that cause burnout and gives a practical exercise to rebuild clarity when you feel lost.
