Episode notes

Send us Fan Mail Darya Simanovich arrived in London 20 years ago with £300, no contacts, and barely any English. Today she runs two businesses, holds a full-time role supporting small business owners across London, mentors 400 founders a year, and has just published her first book. In this episode, Daria breaks down what 15 businesses across completely different industries actually taught her about failure, timing, and the kind of resilience nobody calls resilience to your face. She also shares the frameworks she gives every founder she meets, including one with a 72-hour deadline that she says determines whether anything actually gets done. If you have ever wondered whether the entrepreneurship path is for you, or you are already on it and wondering what separates the ones who make it, this is the conversation. Darya's book: Links to other recommended resources: The Artist's Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity Atomic Habits The 5 Types of Wealth: A Transformative Guide to Design Your Dream Life The Psychology of Money: Timeless lessons on wealth, greed, and happiness This podcast is
