We recently connected with Carol Banh Keiner and have shared our conversation below.
Alright, so we’re so thrilled to have Carol Banh with us today – welcome and maybe we can jump right into it with a question about one of your qualities that we most admire. How did you develop your work ethic? Where do you think you get it from?
The story of how I developed my strong work ethic is deeply intertwined with the tireless dedication of my parents, who showed me the value of hard work and determination through their own actions. Growing up, my family didn’t have the same opportunities that many others had, but my parents were not the type to give in to adversity; they were the type to create their own opportunities. They embarked on the challenging path of developing their own business, and I watched as they tirelessly poured their hearts and souls into their entrepreneurial venture.
As I grew older, I couldn’t help but be inspired by my parents’ incredible work ethic. Through their actions and the values they imparted, my parents shaped my own work ethic. I internalized their teachings of persistence, discipline, attentiveness, care, and the importance of taking initiative. I learned that if you want to achieve something significant, you have to be willing to work for it, often going above and beyond what’s expected. Today, I carry with me the legacy of my parents’ hard work and determination, which has become an integral part of who I am. My work ethic is a tribute to their sacrifices and a testament to the enduring power of dedication, care, love, and perseverance. I am forever grateful for the lessons they taught me and the example they set, which continue to drive me in my pursuit of success and fulfillment.

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
The three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that have had the most significant impact on your business journey – First, Overcoming fear of failure: Embracing a fearless attitude and taking action despite the fear of failure is crucial in developing your business. It allows you to step out of your comfort zone and pursue your goals with determination. Second, networking, partnerships, and collaboration: Building relationships with mentors, advisors, and collaborators is key to gaining valuable insights, guidance, and support in business growth. Leveraging the knowledge and experience of others can be a powerful tool in your business in the long run. Last, Establishing a more consistent workflow: Maintaining a consistent daily business routine and workflow is vital for efficiency and productivity. It ensures that tasks are managed effectively and that your business operates smoothly.
My advice for those starting their entrepreneurial journey is to focus on putting yourself out there with a clear purpose and intention aligned with your business goals and mission. This deliberate approach will help you make meaningful progress and connections to people you want to do business with.
Any advice for folks feeling overwhelmed?
My daily plan to manage overwhelm includes a wellness routine that consists of – First, I would meditate and breathing exercise (10-15 minutes): Taking time to meditate and focus on your breath can help calm your mind, reduce stress, and improve your overall well-being. Second, Low-Impact Workout (15-30 minutes): Engaging in a low-impact workout is an excellent way to release stress, boost your mood, and enhance your physical overall health. Lastly, 30-Minute Walk: Going for a walk allows you to clear your thoughts, gather your focus, and plan the next steps in your day. It’s a great way to improve mental clarity and productivity for your daily business as well as your personal life. With these routines, it can be very effective in helping you regain balance and manage overwhelming moments.
