59. An Open Letter To My Past Self & Anyone Starting Their Entrepreneurship Journey
Starting your own business can feel like you’re climbing a mountain. It’s stressful, overwhelming, but also unimaginably rewarding. If you’re ready for this incredible journey, all you have to do is begin and be brave enough to keep going. Because one day, you’ll wake up to find yourself winning the entrepreneurship game and realize that the effort was 100% worth it.
This episode is an open letter to not only my past self but to anyone in those beginning stages of starting their business. I’m giving raw, unfiltered advice that I wish I knew when I started my entrepreneurship journey and how it will help you as you create your own business. From having unshakeable faith that you will succeed to taking care of your body and your mind, these 14 pieces of advice are pure gold and will help you start, scale, and grow the business of your dreams.
In this episode, we cover…
- How to stay connected and true to what you want
- Why there is no real destination in entrepreneurship
- How your thoughts and beliefs create your reality
- Two mentalities you need to adopt to get what you want
- Why you actually have to learn how to run a business
“It’s hard not to compare. But the minute that you decide that that doesn’t matter. That’s the minute that you’ll be set free. The minute you decide to start acting, despite anything or anyone, is the minute that you will end up having infinite, unlimited possibilities in front of you every day.”
– Amanda Kolbye
”The only way that you can fail is if you decide and give up here.”
– Amanda Kolbye
“You can’t see now how it’s all gonna play out. But if you show up every day, if you’re consistent, if you get the right tools and resources, and you keep going — you’re going to be amazed. It’s just there’s so much goodness waiting for you.”
– Amanda Kolbye
“Whatever it is that you’re trying to win, you have to get up every day and move forward despite any other circumstances. This is the key to any success that you want.”
– Amanda Kolbye

Something tells me you belong here and desire something more.
hi, i'm Amanda
Three years ago, I chose to quit my corporate 9-to-5, sold all my belongings, and booked a one-way ticket to Thailand. I had no real plan—just a burning desire to see the world and a bone-deep certainty that there was more to life than my mind-numbing day job.
Since then I have started multiple business ventures including LLCo. which has scaled to over $1 million dollars in 2 years, and has helped hundreds of women from all over the world build profitable online businesses, defy expectations, and create a freedom lifestyle on their terms—no one else’s.
Every day you get to choose again as to how you will live your life - and every defining moment will come down to just that, a choice.
Here’s the thing - your past story, knowledge, and experiences may have shaped you to be where you are now, but they don’t have to define where you go next.
Hey there, I’m Amanda Kolbye. I’m on a mission to help female entrepreneurs acquire business tools & knowledge so they can create generational wealth and a life where you never think “is this it?” In our world, women become unstoppable. In our world, limitless is the only boundary we adhere to.
7-figure international business coach, online educator, and founder of Laptop Lifestyle Co.
