In Season 2, Episode 14 of we delve into the Agnieszka Janarek's journey of Tromplo's creation and its founder's challenges in the realm of mental health. Initially, Tromplo operated on Facebook, where she connected with dog trainers and enthusiasts, but soon realized the limitations of social media for business. Evolving from a Facebook group, Tromplo was formally launched in 2019 as a platform for animal training, emphasizing science-based methods like Applied Behavior Analysis.
This episode explores Agnieszka's vision of Tromplo, the challenges of running it single-handedly for two years, and the pivotal decision to invite colleagues to join and contribute to this growing project.
The discussion also touches on the mental health aspects of managing a growing business. Agnieszka shares personal experiences of handling the stress of business growth, the importance of setting boundaries, and learning to delegate tasks. Together we take a deep dive into the complexities of transforming a passion into a successful business, the mental resilience required, and the journey from being a solo entrepreneur to building a team.
The conversation extends beyond Tromplo, offering insights into the importance of self-care, managing work-life balance, and the need to occasionally step back and reassess for sustainable growth and mental well-being.
