It's my 5 year business anniversary this week! March 29th, so the day before this airs, was the date I officially launched my business 5 years ago. And boy, am I grateful for this business! 

 

So to celebrate 5 years of business, I want to share with you 5 of the biggest business lessons I learned in these 5 years. There are so many lessons and so much learning obviously, but these are the things that truly stick out to me! And, these are the lessons that I hope you can learn as well because I believe these are the things that have seriously helped me scale and grow my business. 

 

This episode is especially casual — seriously, what I would tell you if you asked me this question over coffee. And, I share some stories and chit chat along the way! I hope you will love this one, and thank you for celebrating my business anniversary by tuning into this special episode!
