Ep 10 / Toady I'm chatting about the pros and cons of owning and operating a service based business vs. a product based business. I've owned my service based business since 2019 and opened by product based storefront in 2023 - and I've learned lots of lessons through both of those business models! I share my tips about how I would get stated again and how you can leverage your service based business to kick-start a product based one.

Welcome to the Her Own Way podcast, where we explore the intersection of female entrepreneurship, wellness, balance, and community. Our goal is to empower women to cultivate a positive mindset, pursue their entrepreneurial dreams, and lead a healthy and fulfilling life.

I’m Bree, your host and entrepreneurial big sis. With two successful businesses launched from scratch, I’ve navigated seasons of success, but also burnout, hustle culture, and draining 9-5 environments. I'm excited to share hard-earned lessons, give you an honest look into my everyday life as a business owner, and go behind-the-scenes.

Each week, we discuss topics such as goal-setting, self-care, and mindset - which will help you move the needle forward at whatever stage of business you’re in. We’ll also sit down with other entrepreneurs, health experts, and community leaders who have found success in their own lives, and are eager to share that wisdom with you.

So join me as we explore what it means to chart your own course and be a confident woman who fearlessly goes Her Own Way.
