No Excuses with Shelby Hawkins

As a pest control pioneer, Shelby was the lone woman on the scene when she found herself in pest control...with 3 kids and 0 business experience. Constantly seen as an outsider, she didn’t let anything stop her from providing for her family. Listen as she lets the Buzz crew in on her secrets of self-talk and how she finally let go and learned to unwind from the business she created and the fieldwork she loves.

  • Shelby talks about her determination to learn from others.

  • She shares the book that helped her master self-talking her way to success.

  • Get Shelby’s take on entitlement and false loyalty traps that surface when it’s time to sell your business.
