In this episode, I’m sharing what it really looked like when my husband Brad and I started our business before we felt ready.

I talk about getting out of debt using Dave Ramsey’s plan, learning the importance of networking, and my favorite quote: ask for money and get advice, ask for advice and get money twice.

I also open up about something I wish I had understood sooner: seeing my husband and myself as a team instead of enemies when stress and money were tight. Building a business together is hard, and mindset matters more than people admit.

I share how I built our first website, started showing up on social media without knowing what I was doing, why applying for local awards is easier than most people think, and why having a solid CPA is something I would never skip again.

This isn’t a step by step lesson. It’s just my perspective on the early days, the learning curve, and the small decisions that added up over time.

If you’re starting a business with your spouse or you’re already in the messy middle, this episode will feel familiar.
