Show Notes
You may recognize Ashley Drummonds from her episode on the show Shark Tank pitching ABS pancakes (https://abspancakes.com). But, Ashley’s love for fitness started long before the protein pancakes!
In college she got heavily involved in personal fitness, understanding her own mental discipline, and sharing that with other people. About 6 months into her first personal training job she realized she wanted to be self-employed - so began her journey into entrepreneurship!
Using your passions to solve a problem. (17:00)
Ashley Drummond’s genius idea for her protein pancakes came from her love of pancakes, her love of nutrition, her love of baking, her love of making food that makes people happy, and seeing a problem she could solve in the marketplace!
Questions leave clues. Success leaves clues, too. If you see that you are fulfilling a need - that’s a sign you should probably see where it leads!

How can your hustle help you? (28:00)
How can your hustle help you? Ashley Drummond’s main break didn’t come form Google analytics. It came from her hard work getting found from a major online influencer.

Just as Ashley Drummonds said, you only see the dart that stuck on the board - you don’t see the 400 laying on the ground that didn’t stick!
