Running a business in the events world isn’t all highlight reels and client wins—sometimes it’s just plain hard. In this week’s episode, Logan and Mary do a follow-up episode of the hardest parts of being a business owner, from mindset struggles and boundary-setting to financial uncertainty and nonstop decision-making. We revisit what we said a few years ago on this same topic, share how our answers have evolved, and open up about the hardest money and business choices we’ve faced along the way. If you’re in the middle of a tough season as an event pro or small business owner, this conversation is packed with real talk, lessons learned, and encouragement to keep going.SHOW NOTES:Register for the 2025 Better Events Conference (Oct. 1st & Dec. 18th): https://app.swapcard.com/login/event/2025-better-events-conference/registrationLearn more about the conference: https://bettereventspod.com/conferenceRevisit Part 1 of Hardest Lessons (Episode 113): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxiAA-lZkCcWant our updated free run of show template?
