If You Don’t Try It, You’re Going to Regret It
“I often talk about it as God’s work because you may interpret it that way, but I think it is about connecting people,” explains Todd Nilson, Owner, Digital Strategist with Clocktower Advisors. Before starting Clocktower, a consultancy firm specializing in building online communities, Todd tried out multiple careers. Proud to say that this is the career that stuck, Todd shares his entrepreneurial journey and the importance of taking a risk.
Todd was working the highest-paying job of his career when he decided to leave and start his own business. Wanting to highlight his strategist skillset and needing the flexibility to take care of his parents, Todd knew it was time to take a chance. By creating online communities for his clients, Todd connects human beings and starts honest conversations.
If there’s something you want to do, do it. Otherwise, you’re going to regret it. Learn more about Todd’s impetus into entrepreneurship, the benefits of an online community, and the importance of a curious mindset.
