Today I have my first podcast guest! My Localpreneur Bootcamp student Stephanie Tarbell is on the show today to share how she left her 15 year career in nursing, moved to a new state and started not just one, but two local businesses -- and got clients.

She had a master plan going in to this big move and career change, but it didn't go as planned. Her living and work situations were not what she had envisioned. She didn't know anyone in her new city. She had many failed attempts. But that didn't stop her from growing her business and getting clients. Now, she's started as a business that she thought was years into her future.

Tune into today's episode to learn:

• Why you should take action before you feel ready
• How to create your own opportunities for yourself in your city
• How to keep taking massive action even when you're not getting the result you want
