Every small business needs a space to operate out of, even if it’s just a small nook in your own home.

With this space comes equipment, or websites and other features necessary to grow and support your business, but this can all cost money.

In today’s episode Sarah and Brian discuss some of the shortcuts you can take to set up your business space on a budget.

Sarah also explains:

-      The advantages of doing your own website

-      How much you can save by doing DIY work to set up your work space

-      Determining the balance between using your time to get work done or paying someone else to do it

Sarah is then joined by Elise Richmond. Elise is a wife, adventurer and committed health and fitness advocate who now operates her own fitness and nutrition business.

Elise has explored the world, adventuring with her husband Luke and together they have set up their own business.

Elise explains:

-      How she and her husband set up their own business space

-      The advantage of sourcing second hand equipment

-      How youtube instructions saved her $15 000.

Key Quotes:

“Youtube is a beautiful thing. We walled out our shed…and we just spent time youtubing it and we saved ourselves $15 000”

“We now have a facility on our property. So we don’t pay rent, we aren’t beholden to anyone”.
