I sat down with 18-year-old bestselling author Avery Crumrine to talk rejection, confidence, and building a business before you feel "ready." Avery wrote and self-published her first book, Intention Into Action, for $0 — no agent, no publisher, just her laptop and pure follow-through. She's also the teen entrepreneur behind sold-out entrepreneur fairs, a Women in Business chapter, and charity auctions that have raised over six figures for nonprofits — all while finishing her finance degree in San Diego. In this episode, I ask her everything: what it's really like growing up with entrepreneur parents, how she turned crippling stage fright into her first public talk, why she thinks so many successful entrepreneurs are dyslexic or ADHD, and the moment she tore up five failed drafts of her own book before it finally worked. If you've ever sat on an idea because you didn't feel confident enough, qualified enough, or "ready" enough — this episode is your permission slip to just start. If you'd like to learn more about Avery, I've included the links in the show notes below to her Intention into Action book, her follow-through system, her follow-through community, and all the ways you can connect with her.
