Manage episode 451866329 series 3557484
"Trust your gut & trust your intuition."
As we round out Q4, my mind naturally reflects on the past year and all that I've accomplished. This year in particular, was my first year as a business owner being truly on my own. It seemed like the perfect time to share some of the hard lessons I learned through some of the challenges of this first year. As a first-time business owner, with no previous business experience, I felt called to share these lessons with you, in case it helps any of you out. Whether you are thinking of starting your own business, already own your own business, or maybe you are a seasoned business owner -- there is something that you will get out of this episode.
