In this episode, Element14, we interview Adrian Koehler, executive coach and co-founder of Novus Global Coaching.  Adrian shares with us the path he’s taken in life and how he’s been able to successfully build up a successful executive coaching business.

In this first, of a two-part interview we gain tremendous insight into the “entrepreneur’s dilemma” of going at it alone, with all the benefits and limitations that come with it.  It can be lonely as an entrepreneur but, there is a difference between loneliness and isolation.

Main Points:

• Surround yourself with the right people?

• Working with others has an exponential effect on your ability to impact.  1 + 1 = 3

• Risk is a matter of perspective

Action Steps:

• Find a mentor or someone who lives a life you want to live and connect with them

• List at least three advantages to having a trusted partner.

• What guides your decision making? How do you get clear on what you need to do?
