“I tell everybody, you want to figure out what you are made of? Launch your own business. I don’t know any other tool, in the world, that will make you grow up, level up, figure yourself out faster than launching your own business.” 

– Donnie Boivin

On this episode of The Pivotal Leader, Gina Trimarco interviewed Donnie Boivine  – Success Coach, Podcast Coach, Content Developer, International Speaker and host of the Success Champions Podcast. He’s an expert sales professional and top 200 iTunes podcaster.

At the age of 40, he discovered he had been living other people’s dreams and not chasing his own. Taking the biggest risk in his life, he jumped out and started a business. Although he had great success at the start, he quickly understood he knew nothing about being a business owner.

Through learning from the mistakes and being at the brink of failure, he gained the experience, perseverance and attitude required to succeed.
