In this episode, @cleoloque shares the decision that changed everything.. choosing focus over doing more. After graduating, she had more space, and instead of filling it with new things, she removed distractions and went all-in on what truly mattered. That one shift led to their first 9-figure year.. not because she did more, but because she finally did less with intention.This conversation goes deeper into what most people get wrong about growth. It’s easy to dream big, but much harder to stay aligned with a dream that’s actually yours. Cleo talks about curating your goals based on what you truly want, not what social media tells you to chase.. and why belief matters more than having a clear plan. We also unpack why founder-led content still works, how storytelling builds trust, and why your “magic” is the one thing no one can copy.We discuss:* Why dreaming big is easy.. but maintaining it is hard* How to set goals even if you don’t know how yet* Why most people are chasing the wrong dream* Founder-led marketing and why it still works* How storytelling builds trust and connection* Building the right circle and environment for growthIf you’ve been feeling stuck, distracted, or unsure of your next step.. this episode will help you simplify what actually matters.Join our community: SmallTalk After Hourshttps://www.facebook.com/share/g/18L65QkBY2/Follow Cleo Loque:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cleoloqueInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/cleoloque/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CleoLoqueTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@cleoloqueSuccess Tips for Young & Aspiring Entrepreneurs W/ Cleo Loque | Ep. 141https://youtu.be/UlazTLqycJI?si=_NvQ6KP557M96roGAlso, if you’re serious about growing your business and you’re done juggling tools, Odoo is built for you.Odoo brings your CRM, Sales, and Projects into one system so you can sell faster, execute better, and operate with clarity.Click the link below to see how Odoo works and decide if it’s the system your business needs next.Explore Odoo here: https://www.odoo.com/r/aleccuenca1 Hosted on Acast.
