Episode 18: How to Rescue Yourself From A Risky Setback

Did you take a risk and then realize, “OMG I am in too deep?”

But by the time you realized it, it was too late.

There was no time for a do-over.

You were stuck and really the only logical thing to do next was to throw in the towel and call it quits.

Or was it?

Well in this episode of FemgineerTV, we’re going to be tackling the topic of how you can rescue yourself from a risky setback.

And to help us out I’ve invited Jessica Mah who is the CEO and Co-Founder of InDinero. She has grown InDinero from zero to multi-million dollar revenues with nearly 200 full-time staff and has been on the cover of Inc Magazine, featured in the Forbes and Inc 30 Under 30 Lists. Jessica studied computer science at U.C. Berkeley.

Jessica went from engineering to entrepreneurship right out of college, but it hasn’t exactly been a bed of roses for her.

She’s had to overcome a number of setbacks along the way, including being on the brink of bankruptcy!

She’s been kind enough to share her story openly with us, and as you watch the episode you’ll learn:

• Why it’s important to set goals but not too many!
• Why being direct with teammates and customers can help you work through a risky setback.
• How partners can be helpful, but those relationships need to be nurtured to withstand setbacks.
• How you can feel fearless and confident, but it’s like a gas tank and needs to be replenished.

If you’ve agonized over a significant setback, then I highly recommend listening to this episode!
