Dallas, Texas: What’s Good? Lessons from your Local Entrepreneurs and Small Business Owners

Entrepreneurship has its high and low moments. It's not always the glamorous image that we see on social media. Sometimes it can make you re-think your journey and question if you are doing the right thing in life. It was already hard enough to quit your job, but now you have to run a business? Not only that, but the family dynamic can also change, priorities will change, and many more responsibilities come along with running a business. Shanta, Tiffany, Allyson, and I share our individual experiences of what the transition from corporate to entrepreneurship looks like. We discuss what we do when low moments arrive and how we have to encourage ourselves to keep pushing, even when we can't see the end goal. If God believes we can do it, we have to achieve it.

Take a listen to this vulnerable episode and what's coming up next for What's Good Podcast. I hope you all enjoy!
