Closing out our interview with Shannon Parris, we dive into some of the ‘unpacking’ she’s had to do to grow as a person and entrepreneur. Self-worth was a major piece of this work. She draws into question a very important idea: “how can you sell yourself as a business owner, if you don’t see your own worth?” In order to move her venture forward, this is something she’s confronted head on.
Shannon is paying her work forward to other entrepreneurs by hosting LEAP with Shannon Parris Consulting. Her hope for this ongoing series is to help entrepreneurs feel more literate in the various facets of their business. April 8th, our very own James Carter will be contributing to the financial forecasting segment.
We wrapped up our time discussing the ways Shannon unwinds—one of which includes reading.
Book recommendations:
📚 Traction: Get a Grip on Your Business by Gino Wickman — a business read
📚 What Happened to You: Conversations on Trauma, Resilience, and Healing
by Oprah Winfrey and Dr. Perry.— for personal betterment
Shannon also has strict boundaries around closing her computer on Friday, and not opening it again until Monday—preserving weekends for family… Something we could all probably take a note from 😅
You can find Shannon on her website: shannonparris.com, and as Shannon Parris on all social platforms.
We can’t thank you enough for sharing your unique knowledge and experience with us Shannon!
We hope you all have enjoyed March’s spotlight!
