“5 Things I Wish Someone Told Me Before I Became the CEO of Driven Inc.,” With Suzanne Evans

Your authentic self sells — Like I said before, don’t get wrapped up in being who others think you should be. Be yourself, be confident in what you say and follow-up in your actions. People want to do business with someone who knows who they are.

As part of my series about the leadership lessons of accomplished business leaders, I had the pleasure of interviewing Suzanne Evans. Suzanne went from secretary to a 7 million dollar business owner in record time. Her company, Driven Inc, has been on the Inc 500/5000 list of fasting growing companies for 5 straight years. Her NY Times Best Selling book, “The Way You Do Anything is the Way You Do Everything”, set hundreds of thousands of business owners on their fast path to success. Suzanne has grown her brand from humble beginnings inside a 350 square foot Manhattan apartment to a sprawling office where she works with clients around the world. She currently lives with her family in Chapel Hill, NC.
