In this video, Entrepreneur Network partner Business Rockstars speaks with Alix Peabody, the founder of Bev. Peabody says that one of her greatest motivations is championing her company's mission. Recently, Bev has concentrated on changing how women have been treated in the beverage industry and encouraging greater compassion.

Peabody thinks of entrepreneurship as taking big risks and then working to build a sustainable life, one that works for you specifically. For new entrepreneurs Peabody recommends to simply start putting one foot in front of the other. You might not know how to handle many situations early on, but you will learn along the way.

Most importantly, to get somewhere, you have to be able to be clear about your goals. Click on the video to hear more.
