Tuesday Dec 14, 2021
Tuesday Dec 14, 2021
In this episode of the Super Entrepreneurs Podcast, we are joined by Erin O’hoski. Erin is the Founding Principal of a firm called Boulevard Strategy Group, which works with mayors, city councils, managers, and the community to develop city strategy, and roadmaps. She has been working with cities and communities for almost two decades now and admits this has been her passion since.
In this episode, Erin shares her journey with us, more information about Boulevard Strategy Group, and some key tips for entrepreneurs. Tune in to listen to this and other educational topics.
Boulevard main activities
Erin tells us that Boulevard creates affordable housing in big centers. Boulevard also creates communities that celebrate inclusion and diversity. She also added that Boulevard creates a digital divide where everyone marks a top-notch internet that is reliable and affordable.
Transition into self-employment
Erin says that she was excited about the work she did to make cities a better place. She also loved the work she did with consultancy and firms when she was in central government. They brought a perspective she did not have. So she developed an interest and decided to do what they were doing. Since she was working for the municipal government, it was easy to make the jump.
Erin’s biggest surprise in her entrepreneurial journey
Erin points out that one big surprise was when she got the opportunity to talk to elected government officials about why they decided to run for government positions. She also added that she thought she would lose the sense of teamwork when she was a consultant in the municipal sector, but it was not the case!
Recommendations for entrepreneurs
Erin says that entrepreneurs should have a passion for what they are doing, love their clients, and make sure they succeed. She also added that entrepreneurs should believe in abundance. For you to win does not mean others have to lose.
